    International Business entities and international taxpayers must comply with some of the Internal Revenue Code’s most complicated and extensive tax and foreign information reporting requirements. Regardless of whether a business is headquartered in Carlsbad, CA, an out-of-state location, or in another country, there are strict rules for reporting foreign and domestic income, classifying and withholding tax from workers, and conducting online or in-person transactions in the United States. Above and beyond complying with tax laws, international and domestic taxpayers should also consider exploring entirely legal tax strategies to preserve wealth and minimize tax liabilities.

    At the Tax Law Office of David W. Klasing, we are experienced domestic and international tax attorneys who work with individual taxpayers and business entities to improve compliance, mitigate penalties, and seize financial opportunities afforded by the Tax Code. Whether an individual or business needs assistance filing a Foreign Bank Account Report (FBAR), preparing for a worker classification audit, or weighing the tax ramifications of a business decision like a potential merger or expansion overseas, our Carlsbad tax lawyers can make the process smoother and simpler.

    International Tax Services for Expats, U.S. Owned Offshore and Foreign Owned Domestic Businesses

    Foreign owned companies that conduct business in the United States are required to comply with federal tax laws demanding disclosure of domestic and offshore assets, income, and accounts. The same applies to U.S. tax residents with Offshore Businesses whether they are Carlsbad residents with assets overseas, dual citizens who maintain U.S. citizenship while living abroad, or frequent business travelers who maintain foreign bank accounts for convenience. At the Tax Law Office of David W. Klasing, our international tax attorneys work with businesses and individuals to form entities, report foreign income, prepare for FBAR audits, appeal the results of foreign account audits, and take advantage of tax breaks for international taxpayers, such as the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE).

    Tax Planning Services for Foreign Companies doing business in the U.S.

    We service overseas companies with U.S. operations & domestic business entities that are under partial or complete foreign ownership. Foreign companies must comply with specific tax filing requirements, such as the obligation to file Form 5472 (Information Return of a 25% Foreign-Owned U.S. Corporation or a Foreign Corporation Engaged in a U.S. Trade or Business (Under Sections 6038A and 6038C of the Internal Revenue Code)), which applies to certain foreign-owned U.S. companies. We can assist with all aspects of tax planning for foreign companies to help keep your costs to a minimum while adhering to tax and information reporting laws.

    Tax Services for U.S. Expats

    During the past decade, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has amplified its efforts to enforce compliance with offshore income reporting requirements. This has resulted in an increased emphasis on the requirements to file an FBAR and Form 8938 (Statement of Specified Foreign Financial Assets) if respective $10,000 and $50,000 foreign asset thresholds are surpassed. FBAR is required by the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), while Form 8398 is a requirement under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA).

    These requirements apply to U.S. persons, including U.S. citizens, U.S. residents, and U.S. business entities, such as partnerships, LLCs, and corporations, in addition to domestic trusts and estates. If you own a business, earn income, or maintain a checking, savings, or business account overseas, you may have FBAR and FATCA obligations.
