Does Uptrend Advisory provide stand-alone Australian or US tax advice?

Uptrend Advisory provides specialized AU/US cross-border tax advice exclusively for active clients who prepare and file their annual U.S. tax returns through the firm. Stand-alone tax consultation is not offered separately.

Who must file a U.S. tax return as an Australian expat?

Australian citizens, Green Card holders, and visa holders (such as E-3, H-1B, and J-1) who meet the IRS Substantial Presence Test or earn U.S.-sourced income are required to file an annual U.S. federal and state income tax return.

When do Australian expats in the U.S. need to file an FBAR?

U.S. tax residents must file a Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts Report (FBAR) if the aggregate value of all foreign financial accounts (including Australian bank accounts, superannuation, and stock portfolios) exceeds $10,000 USD at any point during the calendar year.

What options are available if an expat is behind on past U.S. tax returns?

Expats who are unfiled or delinquent on past tax returns may qualify for the IRS Streamlined Foreign or Domestic Offshore Procedures. This amnesty program allows eligible taxpayers to come into full U.S. tax compliance with reduced or zero penalties.
