Specialist Cross-Border Tax

International Tax for Clearwater

Clearwater’s beaches draw buyers from around the world, and a meaningful share of the condos and vacation rentals along the Gulf are owned by foreign nationals. Add a growing Latin American community and the Tampa Bay area’s widening international business ties, and there is a real cross-border layer here. That layer is exactly where our work sits.

We are a specialist firm in cross-border tax, not a generalist down the block. A foreign-owned beach rental is not just a rental: it carries nonresident filing, withholding, FIRPTA on the eventual sale, and often a foreign-owned LLC in the middle. This is the part of the tax code we focus on, and we work with Clearwater clients with secure document exchange and bilingual service in English and Spanish.

Your Questions Answered

We believe in transparency. Everything you need to know about how we work, what we charge, and why we're different.

I live abroad and own property in Clearwater. Can you handle my U.S. taxes? +
Yes. Foreign-owned Florida rentals and second homes are one of the most common situations we handle: nonresident returns, withholding elections, foreign-owned LLCs with Form 5472, and FIRPTA when you sell. We work with owners entirely remotely, in English or Spanish.
Do you work with foreign-owned LLCs and foreign investors? +
Yes. This is core to our practice. We handle foreign-owned U.S. LLCs, Form 5472, FIRPTA on U.S. real estate, U.S. subsidiaries of foreign companies, and inbound investment structuring.
I have foreign accounts, income, or assets. Do I need to report them? +
Almost certainly. U.S. persons must report foreign bank accounts (FBAR), foreign financial assets (FATCA), foreign income, and interests in foreign companies, and the penalties for missing these are steep. We handle the full range of foreign reporting and the planning that goes with it.
