For U.S. international school teachers, navigating tax obligations while living abroad can be overwhelming. Many assume working overseas means they no longer have to file U.S. taxes—that’s a costly myth. You risk penalties, missed deductions, and financial stress without expert guidance.

Avoid Costly Mistakes with an Expat Tax Specialist
Filing as a U.S. expat isn’t just about submitting a 1040 form. From foreign bank reporting (FBAR) to Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) and Roth IRA contributions, the rules are complex and frequently misunderstood.
Dana in Afghanistan:
“Stephen and his team are amazingly prompt and easy to work with–I’ve recommended them to all of the expat Americans I work with.”
Marc in Myanmar:
“Stephen Boush has been my primary contact for TIETAX for five years. This is my 6th year with TIETAX and I couldn’t be happier. The online system to submit information is very intuitive and easy.”
With TieTax, you don’t have to guess—our experts ensure you file correctly, maximize deductions, and avoid penalties.

Can U.S. Expats Contribute to a Roth IRA?
Many international school teachers ask whether they can still contribute to a Roth IRA while living abroad. The answer depends on how you file your taxes:
✔ Yes, if you report taxable U.S. income – If you use the Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) instead of the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE), you may remain eligible.
❌ No, if you exclude all your income with FEIE – Since your taxable income becomes $0, you cannot contribute.
Making the wrong choice could cost you valuable retirement savings. TieTax helps U.S. expats navigate these decisions so they don’t accidentally shut themselves out of long-term wealth-building strategies.
Why Expats Should Work with Expats
Filing U.S. taxes while living abroad is nothing like filing back home. That’s why working with expats who understand expat tax challenges makes all the difference.
✔ They know foreign banking headaches – Ever had an account suddenly closed due to FATCA? They’ve been there.
✔ They understand international contracts – Teaching contracts vary by country, and tax planning needs to reflect that.
✔ They get the mobility factor – Moving from country to country affects your tax obligations. They help you plan ahead.
With TieTax, you get expats helping expats—so you’re not just another client; you’re working with a team that truly understands your concerns.
