    About Mark Anderson

    A US Tax Professional Focused Entirely on Americans Overseas

    Although living anywhere outside US might improve your lifestyle, but it comes with complicated IRS reporting obligations. The complexity of cross-border banking, time zone differences, and simply not realising that US citizens are still required to file from overseas can easily result in years of unfiled returns.

    I'm Mark Anderson, a registered US tax professional who is solely focused on helping US individuals residing overseas. My only concern is making sure US expats continue to comply with the IRS. With years of experience, I offer the reliable US tax assistance you require to securely catch up, using IRS amnesty programmes to safeguard your hard-earned money.

    Late filers risk increasing worry, possible IRS penalties, and confusion over unfamiliar forms without the right US tax guidance. The earlier you act, the more options remain available to you.

    Need the Best US Tax Help?
    See If Your Situation Resonates.

    If any of the following apply to you, you are in exactly the right place for specialised expertise. You are far from alone — these are the most common situations late-filing expats face.

    You missed one or more US tax deadlines while adjusting to life abroad
    Between visa applications, finding housing, starting new jobs, and adapting to a new culture, tax deadlines slipped by unnoticed — and now catching up feels daunting.
    You didn't realise you had to keep filing after moving overseas
    You assumed your tax obligations ended when you left the country, or that working abroad meant you were exempt from US filing requirements. This is one of the most common misconceptions among expats.
    You're worried about IRS penalties but unsure how serious your situation really is
    You've heard stories about FBAR penalties and late filing fees but don't know whether they apply to your specific situation or whether relief programmes are available to you.
    You're unsure whether you owe anything at all
    You've heard that many expats don't actually owe US taxes because of exclusions and credits — but you need to understand your specific situation before deciding whether to file.
    The problem has grown because you've avoided dealing with it
    Every year you put it off, the backlog grows and the anxiety increases — making it even harder to take that first step. Many people stay stuck here for years longer than necessary.
    You're missing documents from prior years
    You've moved countries, changed jobs, or simply didn't keep records because you didn't know you'd need them for US tax purposes. You can still file — we help reconstruct what's needed.
    You've read about Streamlined Filing but aren't sure if it applies to you
    You've seen mentions of penalty relief programmes online but don't know if you qualify, what documentation is required, or how the process actually works in practice.
    You want to get compliant but need a non-judgemental, step-by-step path
    You're prepared to resolve the issue, but you need professional advice to make sure you're doing it correctly — and not making your situation worse in the process.

    Any of these sound like you? A free consultation clarifies everything — no judgement, no commitment required.

    Your Questions Answered

    You Need Certainty.
    Our US Tax Help Provides the Blueprint.

    You should be aware of your circumstances before making any decisions. These answers walk you through the most frequently asked questions by late-filing expats — so you can feel secure about your next move.

    Speak With an Expert →
    A late filing simply means your US tax return or FBAR was not submitted by the applicable deadline. For expats, the standard deadline is April 15 with an automatic two-month extension to June 15, and a further extension to October 15 available by request. Late filing situations are often fixable — especially for expats who owe little to no tax due to exclusions and credits. The IRS has specific programmes designed for people in your exact position.
    By filing the last three years of tax returns and six years of FBARs, expats can catch up without incurring penalties under the Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures. A competent US expat tax consultation can verify your eligibility for this penalty-free scheme, which is available to the majority of non-willful late filers. "Non-willful" simply means you didn't intentionally avoid filing — it covers most expats who genuinely didn't know they had to keep filing.
    Whether your income comes from salary, freelance work, pensions, or investments, the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion can exclude up to $130,000 (2025 tax year) from US taxation. Many expats discover they owe $0 after applying this alongside Foreign Tax Credits for taxes already paid to their host country. Getting experienced US tax help ensures you are claiming every exclusion and credit you are entitled to across all back years.
    Self-employed expats need to catch up on Schedule C reporting, self-employment tax (Schedule SE), and possibly quarterly estimated taxes owed across the unfiled years. The Streamlined Procedures work for self-employed filers just as they do for those with employment income. We also handle entity filings such as Form 5471 for those with foreign business interests, ensuring everything is addressed in one comprehensive catch-up process.
    Delinquent FBAR submission procedures can frequently address the issue without penalties — particularly if you accurately reported the income from those accounts on any returns you did file. The FBAR requirement applies when overseas accounts total more than $10,000 in aggregate at any point during the year. Under Streamlined, six years of FBARs are filed as part of the catch-up package, resolving the obligation cleanly.
    Even if your records aren't perfect, you can still catch up. We help you reconstruct your tax history using bank statements, employment contracts, foreign tax assessments, and other available documentation. Many clients come to us with significant gaps in their records and we are experienced at working with what's available to build an accurate, defensible filing. Missing documents are rarely a reason to delay getting compliant.
