See the dedicated page- Avoid the 30 percent withholding on gross rent through the § 871(d) election
- Recover all or part of the 15 percent withheld on sale (FIRPTA)
- Obtain an ITIN for you and your spouse
- Structure ownership before the purchase, not after

Frequently asked
Answers before the meeting
Do I have to file in the US if I live in France?
Yes, as soon as you receive US-source income: rent, real estate gains, dividends, wages, an interest in an LLC. The form depends on your status: 1040NR for a non-resident, 1040 for a US tax resident.
I am French with a green card. Do I have to report my French accounts?
Yes. A green card holder is a US tax resident on worldwide income, with an obligation to report foreign accounts through the FBAR (FinCEN 114) above 10,000 dollars in aggregate, and often Form 8938 (FATCA).
How much does a return cost?
We work on flat fees, quoted before anything starts, based on the real complexity of your file. The first consultation is free and exists precisely to price it.
Can you handle my accounting if my business is outside Florida?
Yes. We work in all 50 states, remotely, with the same deadlines and the same follow-up. The firm is based in West Palm Beach, Florida.
