Why work with Mir Taxes
We Are Expats Too
CEO Carl Mir has lived abroad as a tax accountant for many years and has helped many Expat Americans file their taxes. He and his team are specialists in U.S. Expat tax laws and know all the exceptions, criteria, and entitlements. Different countries have different timeframes for reporting; we understand that and can apply for extensions if necessary.
Safe and Secure Filing
Our password-protected collection system ensures your information remains private and secure. Only you, us, and the IRS will know your tax information. Your documents are kept in one place for easy referral. You may operate from multiple locations, but your tax files don’t need to.
Save Time and Money
As certified tax agents, we can file your returns for you online and receive confirmation that your file is under action much quicker than by post. No risk of losing documents in the mail either.
Attention to Detail
We are big enough to handle all your Expat tax requirements, small enough to ensure you receive exceptional customer care. No form is submitted to the IRS without first being triple-checked to ensure they have all they need to process your return quickly.
We take the hassle out of filing for Americans living overseas with a comprehensive service that is easy to use and thoroughly explained. Common questions we are asked about Federal taxes include:
Do I have to pay tax on my overseas-based company?
Yes and no, as it all depends on how it is structured and if you have employees. Since 2018, the system has become quite complex, and we do not recommend filing your business reports without seeking the advice of a Tax Accountant first. Book a free 15-minute discovery call with us to discuss your circumstances.
I pay tax on my self-employed earnings where I live overseas; do I have to pay them in the U.S. as well?
You should be able to take advantage of a tax exemption on income taxed in the country where you live, but it depends on the U.S. treaty with that country and your circumstances. We would be happy to discuss it further with you in a free 15-minute discovery call. Book now.
I am in partnership with someone else; do I have to pay tax on the company’s earnings, even though neither of us lives in the U.S.?
As an Expat American citizen, if you own more than 10% of the company or are a shareholder, you must let the IRS know. You may not have any taxes to pay, but you still have to fill out the declaration and let them know.
Small business tax reporting can be complicated. Let us make your life easier by doing the hard work for you. Book an appointment today to discuss your situation.
