Operate Globally, Stay Grounded

Based in Miami and serving clients throughout the U.S. and abroad, De Bedout CPA advises individuals, businesses, investors, and families on cross-border tax compliance and planning.

We bring order to the process and make sure the full story matches across returns, forms, and disclosures.

Businesses

Frequently Asked Questions

There is usually a path forward. We scope the facts, entities, and countries involved, then choose the right correction path based on eligibility and risk — Streamlined Foreign or Domestic Offshore Procedures, delinquent information returns, or another route. Acting before the IRS contacts you matters.

It depends on your facts, but commonly FBAR (FinCEN 114), Form 8938 (FATCA), Form 8621 (PFIC), and entity reporting. The key is that positions stay consistent across every form — inconsistencies are what draw attention.

Before you move, if possible. Residency and domicile changes, transition-year filings, and exit-tax considerations all have timing elements. Planning ahead is far cheaper than fixing the transition year afterward.

Yes. Entering a new country introduces tax complexity early. We help establish appropriate structures, clarify ongoing reporting, and plan as the business grows across jurisdictions.
