International Tax Services

International tax services help individuals and businesses comply with U.S. tax obligations related to cross-border income, foreign assets, and global operations. This includes filing required forms (FBAR, FATCA, Forms 5471/8865), international tax planning, transfer pricing documentation, treaty analysis, and advisory on complex issues like GILTI, Subpart F, and foreign tax credits.

Yes. U.S. persons (citizens, residents, and certain entities) with foreign financial accounts exceeding $10,000 in aggregate at any point during the year must file an FBAR (FinCEN 114). Depending on your situation, you may also need to file Form 8938 under FATCA. Failure to file can result in penalties starting at $10,000 per account per year for non-willful violations, with significantly higher penalties for willful non-compliance.

Yes. The U.S. taxes its citizens and permanent residents on worldwide income, regardless of where they live. However, you may qualify for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, Foreign Housing Exclusion, and Foreign Tax Credits to reduce or eliminate double taxation. Manay CPA handles your U.S. federal and state filing obligations — we don’t prepare your host-country tax returns, but we coordinate with your local tax advisor to ensure both filings are consistent and all treaty benefits are properly claimed.

If you’ve fallen behind on FBAR, FATCA, or other international filings, options exist to come into compliance with reduced penalties. The IRS Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures allow qualifying taxpayers to file up to 3 years of delinquent returns and 6 years of FBARs with reduced or eliminated penalties. We assess your situation and recommend the most favorable path to compliance.

We analyze your global entity structure, income flows, intercompany transactions, and treaty positions to identify legitimate tax reduction opportunities. This includes foreign tax credit optimization, GILTI and Subpart F planning, repatriation strategies, entity classification elections, and structuring for new market entry or acquisitions. Our goal is to minimize your total worldwide tax burden while maintaining full compliance.

Yes. Tax treaties between the U.S. and other countries can significantly affect withholding rates, permanent establishment determinations, and the taxation of specific income types. We analyze applicable treaty provisions, prepare treaty-based return positions, and ensure proper disclosure on Form 8833 when treaty benefits are claimed. Incorrect treaty application is one of the most common — and expensive — mistakes in international tax.

No. Manay CPA focuses exclusively on U.S. federal and state tax obligations. We do not prepare tax returns or provide tax advisory for other countries. However, if you have tax obligations in your home country that intersect with your U.S. filings — such as foreign tax credits, treaty benefits, or transfer pricing — we coordinate directly with your local tax advisors to ensure both sides are aligned, consistent, and optimized to avoid double taxation. Many of our clients find this collaborative model more effective than relying on a single firm that tries to cover every jurisdiction superficially.

Three things: focused expertise, integrated service, and a client-first approach. We specialize in the U.S. side of international tax — we don’t try to be your tax advisor in every country, and that focus gives us depth that generalist firms can’t match. With 25+ years serving multinational companies, foreign investors, and expatriates, we’ve handled virtually every U.S. international tax scenario. We combine tax compliance, advisory, and planning under one roof — and where your home-country obligations intersect with U.S. requirements, we coordinate with your local advisors to ensure alignment. Our multilingual team (English, Turkish, Spanish) makes communication seamless for our diverse client base.
