US–France Individual Tax Specialists

Your taxes in two countries.
Handled with the whole picture in mind.

Living in France as a US citizen or in the US with French income means navigating two tax systems, dozens of filing obligations, and real financial consequences if you get it wrong. We take care of it—and plan ahead so you're never caught off guard.

You're not alone in feeling overwhelmed

Fear of Penalties

You're not sure if you've been filing correctly—or at all—and the penalty exposure feels impossible to calculate.

Two Systems, Zero Clarity

The US and France each have their own rules, and how they interact with each other is rarely obvious—even to professionals.

Life Events Without Guidance

Opening an Assurance Vie. Selling a property. Receiving an inheritance. Every major decision has cross-border tax consequences.

Dual Jurisdiction Tax Services

We work exclusively with individuals—not businesses—and focus on building lasting relationships that grow with your financial life.

US & French Tax Preparation

Annual filing for both countries, handled together. We ensure your US obligations—including FBAR—are met every year, and get you compliant if you've fallen behind.

  • FBAR (Foreign Bank Account Report) compliance
  • Annual individual tax filing for both countries (US: 1040, 1040NR, 2555, 1116, 8621, etc, FR: 2042, 2047, 3916, etc)
  • Catch-up filing and compliance programs - Streamlined Filing Procedures
  • Renunciation of US citizenship, returning Greencard, and Exit Tax

Tax Guidance

Before you open an account, sell a property, or make an investment—understand the implications on both sides of the Atlantic. We give you the full picture upfront.

  • PEA, Assurance Vie & foreign brokerage consequences
  • Property sales and rental income reporting
  • Investment and capital gains implications

Gifts & Inheritances

Inheritance and gift tax matters require specialized knowledge. We can help you navigate what can be a complex process.

  • US estate and gift tax returns 706, 706NA, 709, 709NA, 3520
  • French gifts and successions explained and assisted when possible (note, many French successions must be administered by a notaire)
Full Services Detail

Specialists, Not Generalists

US–France dual taxation is all we do. You benefit from deep, specific expertise that a general preparer simply can't match.

Proactive, Not Reactive

We anticipate what's coming and structure your filings to avoid amendments, surprises, and missed opportunities.

Long-Term Relationships

We're not here for a one-off transaction. We learn your situation deeply so you don't have to explain it every year.

"We anticipate the future and take the whole picture into account—setting you up for this year and the ones to come."
