No fee is added without approval.
Common difficulties

The place where you get stuck can become one clearly scoped project.

These are common matters currently available for engagement or further assessment. The actual facts and records determine whether a filing is required.

Your tax software does not support Form 8621

Treat PFIC classification, the applicable calculation, Form 8621, required statements and primary-return integration as one specialist project.

You received a foreign gift or inheritance

First determine whether Form 3520 may apply. A clearly documented gift or inheritance from a foreign individual can be prepared under a fixed scope.

Form 3520 · USD 300/form

A difficult issue affects several forms

When several projects need to be integrated, commission a complete Form 1040 return with international projects identified and priced separately.

The US Tax Pilot product model

Assessment, specialist projects and complete returns.

Instead of expecting one generalist to handle every issue, define the project first and then arrange professionals whose verified experience matches the work.

01 · Assessment

Start where the return became difficult and identify possible forms, tax years, records and next steps. An assessment does not predetermine the filing conclusion.

02 · Specialist project

Each project has a written scope, information list, deliverables, role arrangement and price. You can keep preparing the rest of the return.

03 · Complete return

A complete return combines defined work projects with return-level integration, review, signing and filing arrangements. Depending on the fields involved and the return’s complexity, one or more professionals with relevant experience may collaborate under defined roles.
