OUR U.S. INTERNATIONAL AND EXPATRIATE TAX EXPERTISE AND WHO WE ARE

Nelsons' Expatriate & Nonresident Tax & Financial Services has prepared expatriate and nonresident U.S. income tax returns and helped our clients with their expatriate tax planning for over 31 years. Don Nelson is a Certified Public Accountant and a U.S. Attorney licensed in California. [Click here to view Don's Professional Experience] He was previously with the tax and legal department of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP and Ernst & Young LLP. His fees are reasonable. His clients are located in over 42 countries around the world. Email, fax and phone us for an estimate of the cost of preparing your U.S. federal (and state if necessary) tax return. We will send you by email or fax a tax questionnaire which you can return to us by fax or email after you have filled in all data. Completed tax returns are delivered to you by email. With complete data we can have your return back to you in less than a week.

IMPORTANT LEGAL TIP: Only when your tax return is prepared by an attorney can many of the things you tell the preparer be protected by "attorney-client" privilege. The privilege does not extend to items and documents that went into the preparation of any tax return prepared. The IRS and courts can force your accountant, C.P.A. and enrolled agent to reveal everything you tell them even though it is in confidence!
