We see the same pattern every filing season.

A tax return might look finished on the surface, but a closer look often tells a different story. It could be a foreign bank account that was missed or local income that wasn't reported quite right. These aren't always obvious mistakes, but they are exactly what the IRS looks for.

As we get closer to the April deadline, the temptation is to just hit send and be done with it. However, rushing is usually when these small details slip through the cracks. Taking the time for a proper review now is much easier than trying to fix a mistake months down the line.

At Mertz International Limited, we help expats get their returns right the first time. We look at your entire financial picture to catch those hidden details before anything is submitted. That way, you can move past tax season knowing your filing is accurate and complete.

If you haven't finished your 2025 return yet, now is the best time to get it handled.

Send us a message or email us, and we can take it from there.

Most New Year’s resolutions don’t make it past February.

But here’s one that actually pays off.

“This year, I’ll stop guessing about my taxes.”

If you’re living abroad, taxes tend to become that quiet stress you carry all year. You file late. You hope it’s right. You wonder if you missed something — or overpaid without realizing it.

A smarter tax setup isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing it right:
• Knowing what income actually needs to be reported
• Using the rules meant for expats (not ignoring them)
• Having clarity instead of second-guessing every filing

📌 With over 27 years of expat experience, including 17 years focused on U.S. expat tax, Michael A. Mertz, CPA, eMBA, Founder and CEO of Mertz International Limited, helps Americans abroad plan ahead and avoid costly tax mistakes.

If one of your goals is fewer financial “what ifs,” your taxes are a good place to start.

The 2025 filing season may seem far off, but for expats, preparation needs to start now. Major tax law changes under the One Big Beautiful Bill and tighter IRS enforcement mean surprises are more likely if you wait.

Getting organized early can help you avoid delays, reduce filing risks, and stay compliant with foreign income and reporting requirements. It also puts you in a stronger position once the 2025 tax window opens.

Read our latest blog to learn what steps expats should take now to prepare for 2025 and why early action can make a meaningful difference.

The IRS has started phasing out paper refund checks for individual taxpayers. While most refunds are already paid by direct deposit, many U.S. expats have relied on paper checks mailed overseas. That option will be gradually discontinued as the IRS transitions to issuing refunds only through electronic methods—such as direct deposit or prepaid debit cards—with limited exceptions.

The change aims to make refunds faster, more secure, and less dependent on mail systems. Expats are encouraged to prepare early by reviewing their banking arrangements and ensuring access to electronic payment options.

Taking action now ensures that your refunds remain accessible under the new rules.
