Who is this for?

For U.S. Expats with State Filing Obligations

Even if you live abroad, you may still need to file a state tax return. This service is for expats who have state-sourced income, moved between states during the year, or are considered part-year residents or non-residents in a U.S. state. If your former state hasn’t released you from residency or you earned rental, business, or investment income tied to a state, we’ll help ensure you meet your obligations accurately and efficiently.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to file a state tax return if I live abroad?

Living abroad does not automatically end your state tax obligations. You may still need to file if your former state considers you a resident or if you continue to receive income sourced to that state, such as rental or business income.

State residency rules vary considerably. We’ll review your residency, state ties, and income sources to determine whether a state return is required.

What if I moved between states or left the U.S. mid-year?

If you changed your state of residence during the year, you may need to file part-year resident returns in more than one state. If you moved abroad, you may also need a part-year resident or nonresident return depending on your circumstances.

We’ll determine which returns are required based on your move dates, residency, and income sources. Our fee is $100 per state tax return, per tax year.

Can you help me determine whether I am still a resident of my former state?

Yes. State residency is determined separately from federal tax residency, and simply moving abroad does not always end your former state’s claim that you are a resident.

We can review factors such as your permanent home, driver’s license, voter registration, property, family ties, and other connections to the state to help determine your filing obligations and explain the steps for establishing residency elsewhere.

Do I need a state tax return if I only have income from that state?

You may need to file a nonresident state tax return even if you live abroad and are no longer a resident of the state. Common examples include rental income from property located in the state, income from a business operating there, or other state sourced income.

We’ll determine whether your income creates a filing requirement and prepare the appropriate nonresident return.

How do I submit my documents securely?

You’ll receive access to our secure client portal, where you can upload your tax documents and provide the information we need to prepare your return. You can also use the portal to access your completed tax documents once your return is ready.
