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 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?
Possibly. Some states still consider you a resident even after moving abroad — especially if you maintain ties like a driver’s license, voter registration, or property. Others require filing if you have state-sourced income. We’ll help determine your filing obligations based on your unique situation.
What if I moved between states or left the U.S. mid-year?
If you changed your state of residence during the tax year or left the U.S. partway through the year, you may need to file as a part-year resident or non-resident. We’ll prepare the correct return(s) based on your move dates and income sources.
What information do you need to prepare my state return?
We’ll send you a simple questionnaire to collect everything we need. In many cases, we can also use your local tax return or income statements. We take care of the state-specific calculations and reporting.
Can you help reduce or end my state tax obligations going forward?
Yes. If you’re eligible, we can advise you on breaking domicile ties with your previous state — such as surrendering licenses or registering elsewhere — so you’re not taxed indefinitely after moving abroad.
How do I submit my documents securely?
You’ll receive access to our secure client portal, where you can safely upload your tax documents. It’s protected by high-level encryption, just like the systems used by financial institutions.
