U.S. Tax Compliance for Global Founders & Expats.
Bulletproof filings for the Morocco-U.S. corridor. We manage the complexity of IRS disclosures so you can focus on your business and your life.
✽ What We Offer
The Compliance Framework
Corporate Disclosures (Forms 5471 & 5472)
If you own a U.S. company with foreign shareholders or a Moroccan company with U.S. owners, these forms are mandatory. We ensure accurate reporting of related-party transactions and foreign ownership to avoid the automatic $25,000 failure-to-file penalties.
Asset Reporting (FBAR & FATCA)
U.S. persons with bank accounts or financial assets in Morocco exceeding specific thresholds must file FinCEN Form 114 (FBAR) and Form 8938. We provide precise tracking and reporting of your foreign holdings to ensure full transparency with the Department of Treasury.
Expat Tax Relief (Forms 2555 & 1116)
Don't be taxed twice. We leverage the U.S.-Morocco Tax Treaty to apply the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion and Foreign Tax Credits, significantly reducing or eliminating your U.S. tax liability on income earned abroad.
Behind on your U.S. filings?
If you haven't been filing your U.S. taxes while living in Morocco, the Streamlined Offshore Procedures (Form 14653) is your path to compliance. We help qualifying "non-willful" taxpayers catch up on the last 3 years of tax returns and 6 years of FBARs—often with zero penalties.
