Insights & guides for Americans abroad.

All articles

50 articles, written for filers.

Articles are written by IRS Enrolled Agents and ACCA-qualified accountants — not syndicated content. Each one is the explainer we wished existed when we first met the question.

How these guides are written

Our editorial standards.

Who writes and reviews them

Every article is drafted by TaxStone’s practising team and reviewed by an IRS Enrolled Agent before publication. The author line and review date appear at the top of each piece.

What they are based on

Primary sources — the Internal Revenue Code and IRS instructions, FinCEN guidance, HMRC manuals and the US–UK double tax treaty — plus the patterns we see preparing returns for Americans in the UK. Where a figure is year-specific we say which tax year it applies to.

How they are kept current

Thresholds, exclusion amounts and deadlines are re-checked each filing season and the “last reviewed” date is updated. If you spot something out of date, email hello@taxstone.us.

What they are not

General information, not advice on your facts. Nothing here creates an adviser–client relationship; your position depends on details an article cannot know. For a filing-grade answer, request a written quote.
