Who We Serve
Tax guidance for international investors in the United States.
Investing in the United States from abroad raises questions that domestic investors rarely face: how to hold the investment, what must be reported, how income and sales are taxed, and how U.S. rules interact with your home country. We help you understand those questions before decisions are made — and stay compliant afterwards.
Questions we commonly help clients work through
- How should a U.S. property or business interest be owned — individually, through a U.S. entity, or another structure?
- What U.S. filing and information-reporting obligations apply to a foreign owner?
- How is rental income taxed, and which deductions may be available?
- What happens from a tax perspective when a U.S. property is sold, including FIRPTA withholding?
- How may a tax treaty or foreign tax credits affect the overall result?
- How should legal structuring and estate planning be coordinated with qualified attorneys?
How we work with international investors
- Communication in English and Spanish, with explanations adapted to clients who are new to the U.S. system.
- Analysis of the U.S. tax implications of your structure before you invest, when possible.
- Coordination with your attorneys and advisors in the United States and abroad.
- Ongoing compliance so reporting obligations are met each year.
