TL;DR
I prepare US tax returns in Russian. Here's what I do:
• Form 1040 — for US citizens and Green Card holders. I account for all income (in the US and abroad), foreign income exclusions, and tax deductions
• Form 1040-NR — for nonresidents with US income (their own business, rental real estate, dividends). I help lower your tax through treaty benefits between countries
• Foreign bank account report (FBAR) — required for all US citizens/residents whose foreign account balances exceed $10,000. The penalty for not filing starts at $10,000
• ITIN — a tax ID number for nonresidents. I'm IRS-authorized (CAA status) and process applications without sending your passport to the IRS, in 6-8 weeks
• Tax planning — I help you choose strategies in advance that lower your tax: retirement contributions, S-Corp election, choice of state
I work remotely with all 50 states and clients worldwide. The filing deadline for 2025 returns is April 15, 2026.

Who needs US tax services
In the US, it's not only citizens who are required to pay taxes, but also: Green Card holders, immigrants on work visas, nonresidents with US-source income (dividends, rental real estate, business), and even Americans living abroad (US citizens abroad must file returns regardless of their country of residence).
Each category files its own form: 1040 for US persons, 1040-NR for non-resident aliens, plus special schedules for FBAR (foreign accounts over $10K), FATCA, and treaty benefits. Picking the wrong form means overpaying tax, penalties, or worse — an IRS audit.
As a CAA (Certified Acceptance Agent, IRS-authorized), I specialize in the Russian-speaking community — immigrants from the CIS, nonresidents with US investments or businesses, and expat families moving assets between countries. I'll help you determine your tax status, choose the right form, and minimize your tax within the law.

Who my services are for
🇺🇸 Immigrants with a Green Card or US citizenship — required to file 1040 on their ENTIRE worldwide income (including income from their country of origin). They often overlook foreign accounts, real estate, and foreign wages — and the penalties can be enormous.
🌍 Nonresidents with US investments — owners of US LLCs, nonresident real estate landlords, and holders of US brokerage accounts. They file 1040-NR + treaty claims.
💼 Students on F/J/M visas — special rules (substantial presence test exemption for 5 years for F-1, treaty exemptions for scholarships).
✈️ Expats — US citizens living abroad. Required to file returns every year, and can use the FEIE ($126,500 in 2026) and the foreign tax credit.
🏢 US LLC owners with profits — a single-member LLC requires Schedule C on the 1040, a multi-member LLC requires Form 1065 + K-1, and elections (S-Corp / C-Corp) require separate forms.
By city
If you're a Russian-speaking resident of one of these cities, there's a page with tax specifics for your region.
Frequently asked questions — US taxes
Who files, the difference between 1040 and 1040-NR, deadlines, whether it's remote, audit risk, and cost
Required to file: 1) US citizens regardless of where they live (citizens abroad too). 2) Green Card holders — for life, as long as they hold the Green Card. 3) Immigrants who have met the substantial presence test (183 days under the weighted formula). 4) Nonresidents with US-source income (LLC business, US rental real estate, US stock dividends). 5) Foreign students on F/J/M visas with wages or a scholarship. 6) People with US bank accounts generating interest income. Decision tree: if at least one of these criteria is yes, filing is required. Income below the filing threshold ($14,600 for single in 2026) may relieve you of the obligation, but not the right (a refund is often worthwhile even on low income).
