Yes. US citizens and Green Card holders must file a US tax return each year, even while living abroad. The IRS taxes worldwide income, but you may qualify for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion or Foreign Tax Credit to reduce double taxation.
The deadline is June 15 for Americans abroad, with taxes still due by April 15. You can request an extension to October 15, and in some cases, up to December 15.
Generally, you need to file a tax return if your total income—US or foreign—exceeds the IRS filing threshold for your filing status. Even if your income comes entirely from abroad, you must report it to stay compliant.
You may qualify for the IRS Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures, which let Americans abroad catch up on past returns without penalties.

Universal Tax Professionals took care of my expat tax filing. I recommend them!
Excellent service. Tax prep handled professionally and timely. Appreciate the secure document transfer facility. Will definitely continue to use.
I highly recommend Universal Tax Professionals. I live in Europe but as a USA citizen I have to file both USA and European tax returns. Sofia filed my USA tax return but she also has knowledge of foreign tax return filings and international tax treaties. She communicated and coordinated the tax filings with my European tax consultant. I received very good advice and guidance from her even for future tax filings. The tax filing was done very professionally and timely. Communication was very professional and timely! Highly recommended!
Highly recommend if you live abroad and need help filing expat taxes. I worked with Carlos to file my return and he made the process easy to understand plus answered my (many!) questions. I don't enjoy doing taxes, but someone else getting it right while making it easy for me is worth every penny.
This was our first year living abroad with challenging taxes for the US and UK. Sofia Mosca was efficient and professional helping us with our questions throughout the process. I appreciated that she continued to help us for a few additional questions after she filed our taxes and Fbar. Great service for a fair cost. Will definitely be using them again next year.
We have filed our taxes with Universal for over 5 years now. We have a complicated situation, being US Citizens working in one country but living in another. Universal always answers our questions thoroughly and our taxes are filed very quickly. Thank you!
I was a bit skeptical at first due to the price, but man am I so relieved I hired these folks. Pamela was such a help to get everything organized for me on time and made sure everything was super clear and easy for me to follow. Once everything was finalized and I could see the mountain of paperwork that she did for me, the price is 1000% justified. These guys rock!
I contacted Asher and the team from Universal Tax Professionals with very short notice ahead of the 15 April deadline. He handled my internationally based Tax Return, plus back returns, very efficiently and quickly and ensured a solid refund. Friends recommended me to Universal Tax Professionals and I would not hesitate to do the same to any US Citizen living and working internationally.
Well it's a shame that it's come to this, but Universal Tax professionals could not have done a worst job, unless of cxourse they filed a fraudulant return. My experience with Universal Tax Professionals has been deeply disappointing. For over a year, I communicated with them extensively, submitted documents, and followed their process in good faith regarding multiple prior-year tax returns. Despite repeated assurances, including being told in November 2025 that everything would be completed by Thanksgiving, nothing had been filed as of April 15, 2026. What is especially concerning is that I later found out the extension I was told had been filed in 2024 apparently was never submitted. From my perspective, this reflects a serious lack of follow-through, accountability, and professional care. After such a long period of delay and inaction, I cannot recommend their services. Thank you for reaching out Josh and i'm sure this needed to be done publicly for optics, but I did in fact cc you on a few emails inquiring bout this situation as it was souring and you never replied then, only when i put this out into the public. So, although I appreciate you making the effort now, it's far too late and all trust has been lost. I have moved on.
The realisation that I should file tax returns in the US was a frightening prospect. I talked to Josh at Universal Tax Professionals, and he put my mind at ease about their ability to support me through the Streamlined Process. I worked with Pamela, who very patiently helped me understand what information was required and get all the required forms submitted to make me compliant. A great service and a huge relief. I couldn't recommend the team highly enough.
A really professional service, the team are able to answer any question and make the process feel very smooth and easy. Yhail has been excellent in his communication and a credit to his profession.
My tax return was prepared and filed promptly and professionally. Their knowledge of "Tax Treaty" provisions as they apply to my streams of income have stopped those annoying letters from IRS. Alex you are a star!
I worked with Jocelyn on my US taxes. Being overseas, I was quite nervous about the process. But Jocelyn was a complete professional and handled everything quickly and professionally. I highly recommend their services.
I highly recommend this company. Asher here has done my taxes for over 10 years. He is amazing. I am living in the UK and he has done a brilliant job for many years - make sense of craziness. Reasonable pricing for what it is - ugh!!! Thank you, Asher!
Great, savvy accountant. Works well with time constraints, and can handle complex tax situations with confidence. 10/10 recommend for expats
As always good service from Universal Tax Professionals, and particularly from Pamela Goy. They file our US taxes and FBAR's for us. Filing was completed quickly and accurately. This is our third year using them while we live fulltime overseas. The process is simple and straightforward. They respond quickly to questions. Overall, very good service.
