International Tax Planning

ABOUT Accutax

International tax planning is most effective before you move, invest, sell an asset, receive a distribution, restructure a business or return to the United States.

Accutax Business Center provides international tax planning for U.S. taxpayers with cross-border income, investments, businesses and financial interests.

International financial decisions can create U.S. tax consequences that are easy to overlook. We help clients understand those consequences before major transactions occur.

Planning services may include:

  • Pre-departure U.S. tax planning
  • Planning before returning to the United States
  • Foreign Earned Income Exclusion and Foreign Tax Credit analysis
  • Foreign investment planning
  • PFIC considerations
  • Foreign pension and retirement distribution planning
  • Foreign business ownership considerations
  • Foreign real estate transactions
  • Capital gain planning
  • Cross-border compensation and self-employment planning
  • U.S. state residency considerations
  • Estimated tax and cash-flow planning

International Investment & Retirement Planning

Foreign mutual funds, investment accounts, pensions and retirement arrangements may receive very different treatment under U.S. tax law than under the laws of the country where you live.


Before buying, selling or taking distributions from foreign investments or retirement accounts, understanding the U.S. consequences can be critical.

Planning for Life Changes

Moving abroad or returning to the United States can change your tax situation considerably.


We help clients identify important tax considerations surrounding relocation so decisions can be made before deadlines or transactions limit the available planning options.
