If you are working overseas, visiting a tax preparer’s office in the U.S. before the filing deadline may not fit with your plans. Palmetto Global Tax Services may be right for you. Our services are customized to fit your schedule and time zone. The average tax preparer in the U.S. is not familiar with the foreign earned income exclusion (FEIE), FBAR filing requirements, Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures and other peculiarities for US citizens working abroad. All of our tax preparers are IRC Circular 230 Tax Professionals and have specialized training or experience in international tax issues.
The Palmetto Global Advantage
We offer transparent pricing, electronic filing of Federal and state returns in most cases, and quick turnaround relative to larger firms. Once you have selected a package and reviewed and signed the engagement letter, we will provide you with a link for a secure portal to upload your supporting documents and maintain contact with you about missing documents or information. Once we have all required documents and information, your return will generally be ready in less than one week. After you review your return for accuracy, you can pay for preparation of your return via PayPal, Credit Card, or, if you are due a refund, for an additional fee you can arrange to pay for our services out of your tax refund. We will then electronically file your Federal and state returns. If either is rejected, Palmetto Global will provide you with a PDF file which you can print, and instructions on where to file a hard copy.
