H-1B, L-1 & F-1/OPT Visa Holders

Upload I-94 travel history, current visa stamps, prior years' Form 1040-NR or Form 1040, and Form 1042-S if applicable.

Direct electronic filing with dual-status attachments where allowed, eliminating paper filing delays whenever possible.

Provide Indian bank interest certificates (NRE, NRO, FCNR), Demat statements, PPF records, or property sale documentation.

We prepare FinCEN Form 114 (FBAR for accounts > $10,000) and IRS Form 8938 (FATCA) to protect you from severe failure-to-file penalties.
Your complete U.S. return, foreign asset calculations, and FBAR submission receipts are permanently archived for easy reference.
