Tax Accountant and Bookkeeping in Hallandale Beach, FL

Hallandale Beach is a small city that sends us unusually international work. The condo lines along Three Islands and Golden Isles, the towers along Diplomat Parkway, and the storefronts along the boulevard bring us households whose money did not all start in the United States and who still hold income, accounts, or a family business somewhere else. The tax work here is mostly about two countries at once.

A first engagement usually starts with status and identification. Whether you are a resident or a nonresident for tax purposes changes the entire return, and a spouse or child without a Social Security number needs an ITIN before they can appear on it. As a Certifying Acceptance Agent, our founder can certify your passport in the office so the original never leaves your hands, and the application goes out with the return it belongs to.

Then it becomes ongoing reporting. Foreign financial accounts get disclosed on the FBAR once the combined balances pass the reporting threshold and, where the higher thresholds are met, in the foreign-asset reporting attached to the return. A rental unit produces a schedule of its own, with depreciation set correctly from the start. An LLC holding property for a foreign owner has its own annual information return once there is any reportable dealing between the owner and the entity, and that category is broad enough that most years qualify, including years the property produced no income. We do the work in English or Spanish, at our Miami office or entirely remotely, which is how most Hallandale clients prefer to run it anyway.
