Hello everyone and welcome. A little more about me, I am a U.S. tax preparer. I am only doing tax for ten new clients this year. After this tax season I will only be working with expat taxpayers. As a content creator and future expat my biggest fear was, how do I make sure my tax are in IRS compliance. That is why I started my Expats, Income, & Taxes business. I wanted to make sure that I keep more of the money I earn so I can live that expat life. There are so many changes in the tax world now with OB3 (One Big Beautiful Bill), and being an expat add to those changes. For the tax year 2026, I will only work with a maximum of 10 expats and perform complete tax service for the entire year. I would love to hear why you join the community and any questions you may have or comments to share. Tax season officially start on January 26, 2026.🤨 Alice

Your filing status can make a big difference in how much income tax you pay. If you make $40,000 a year, for instance, the amount of tax you will pay depends on which filing status you qualify for. Your decision to file as Single, Married Filing Jointly, Married Filing Separately, or as Head of Household will also affect the size of your Standard Deduction.
