Catch-up filing for an American family abroad

A family came to us after several missed years: foreign accounts, dependents, foreign income, and no clear filing history.

We rebuilt the facts by year, prepared a catch-up package, and aligned the strategy with the actual cross-border situation.

The result was a clear position, restored compliance picture, and a filing plan for future years.
