Welcome — Here's What This Resource Library Is For

If you’re here, you probably have a tax question that isn’t quite answered anywhere else on the internet. Maybe you moved abroad and the IRS still wants its cut. Maybe you’ve been freelancing for three years and just realized you’ve been overpaying. Maybe a CPA quoted you $4,000 and you want a second opinion before signing.

This is for you.

What I publish here

Short, opinionated reads on the tax topics I get asked about most:

• Expat tax strategy — FEIE vs FTC, when each one wins, and the trap that catches people who think they can do both at once
• Freelance deductions — what’s actually defensible vs. what your friend told you was “totally fine”
• IRS forms — when you need an 8938, when an FBAR alone is enough, and how to handle a missed filing without setting off alarms
• Global income rules — how income, capital gains, and pensions in another country flow through to your US return

No tax-prep templates. No “here are 50 deductions you forgot” listicles. Just the specific question and a real answer.

Why no comments?

Tax questions are personal. The shape of the right answer depends on which state you live in, which countries you’ve lived in this year, whether you have dependents, what your business structure is, and a dozen other things. A comment thread is the wrong place to work that out.

If you read something here and have a follow-up that’s specific to your situation, schedule a call — that’s what calls are for.

Disclaimer

Everything here is general education. None of it is tax advice for your situation specifically. Tax advice is what you get when you hire me and I review your full picture under engagement — not what you skim off a blog post at 11pm.
