Core Expat Services

Essential U.S. tax services across the Asia-Pacific

Whichever Asian country you live in, we manage the primary IRS filing requirements, the foreign asset disclosures and the amnesty procedures.

  1. FEIE and foreign tax credit optimization

    Calculating the optimal balance between the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (Form 2555) and foreign tax credits (Form 1116) to prevent double taxation across high-tax and territorial regimes alike.

  2. Foreign bank account reporting (FBAR and FATCA)

    Preparing the mandatory FinCEN Form 114 and Form 8938 disclosures for accounts held across Asian institutions — DBS, HSBC, OCBC, MUFG, Citi Asia and local brokerages.

  3. PFIC and investment fund clean-up

    Identifying and reporting passive foreign investment companies (Form 8621) hidden inside regional holdings: MPF funds, SRS investments, unit trusts and foreign mutual funds.

  4. Streamlined catch-up filings

    Helping long-term non-filers in Asia catch up without the offshore penalty under the IRS Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures, where the failure to file was non-willful.
