Foreign tax issues can be confusing, frustrating, overwhelming and intimidating. At Community CPA & Associates Inc we specialize in dealing with foreign tax issues. You can count on our extensive knowledge and experience to help solve your problem.

As an individual, you can encounter these issues when you are not a US citizen, but they can also crop up if you are a US citizen and have foreign investments and bank savings. As a business, you can encounter foreign tax issues when hiring workers in the United States with Visas, or when you need to send employees out of the country to work for a period of time.
