Small Business Tax Services for Americans Living Abroad
Why Expats Choose Greenback for Small Business Tax Preparation
-
Expat Business Tax Specialists
Filing a US small business tax return from abroad is not the same as filing domestically. Your accountant understands the interplay between your business structure, foreign income, FEIE eligibility, and self-employment tax obligations, so nothing gets missed.
-
LLCs, S Corps, Partnerships, and More
Whether you operate a foreign-owned LLC, a domestic LLC taxed as a partnership, an S Corp, or a C Corp, we handle the correct forms for your structure. That includes Form 1065, 1120, 1120-S, and the international informational forms that frequently apply to expat business owners.
-
Foreign Compliance Built Into Every Return
US expat business owners often trigger reporting requirements that go beyond the standard return — Form 5471 for foreign corporation shareholders, Form 8865 for foreign partnerships, Form 5472 for foreign-owned US entities, and Schedule K-2/K-3 for foreign income on K-1s. We identify which apply to you and handle them accurately.
-
Self-Employed and Freelancer Support
If you’re self-employed, a freelancer, or a sole proprietor operating abroad, your tax situation involves self-employment tax, FEIE applicability, and potentially foreign tax credit strategy. We work through all of it with you.

One Accountant, Start to Finish
Every small business client is paired with a dedicated accountant who reviews your full situation, answers your questions, and handles your return from intake to filing. You’re not passed between teams.

Running a US Business from Abroad Comes with Unique Tax Obligations
If your business is a separate legal entity, such as a partnership, C Corp, S Corp, or LLC, you’re required to file a US business tax return each year, regardless of where you live. For American entrepreneurs abroad, that return often comes with additional complexity: foreign corporation reporting, self-employment tax on earned income, and the question of whether the FEIE applies to your situation.
Greenback’s expat small business tax preparation service is built for exactly this. We handle the complete return for your entity type and identify every international form that applies to your structure, so you’re fully compliant without overpaying or missing required filings.

Greenback Small Business Tax Return Service FAQ’s
What’s included in Greenback Tax’s small business tax return package?
The package covers the core business return for your entity type — Form 1065 for partnerships, Form 1120 for C Corps, or Form 1120-S for S Corps — for up to two partners. If your return requires additional international forms like Form 5471, 8865, or Schedule K-2/K-3, those are available as add-ons with fixed fees listed on this page. Your accountant will review your situation and tell you exactly which forms apply before you get started.
How does Greenback handle the additional international forms for small businesses?
When you sign up, your dedicated accountant reviews your full business structure, including any foreign corporations, foreign partnerships, or non-US ownership, and identifies which forms are required. You’ll know upfront what’s needed and what it costs.
How long does the small business return take to complete?
Timing depends on the complexity of your return and how quickly we can gather your documents. Your accountant will give you a realistic timeline at the start of the engagement. We also communicate proactively if anything is needed to keep things moving.
Can Greenback handle both my personal expat return and my business return?
Yes, and for most expat business owners it makes sense to have both done together. Your business income, entity structure, and any foreign tax credit or FEIE strategy all interact with your personal return. Having one accountant manage both ensures nothing falls through the gap between the two.
What happens after I sign up?
After you confirm your account and answer a few questions about your situation, you’ll be matched with a dedicated accountant who specializes in expat business taxes. They’ll reach out to introduce themselves, review what you’ve shared so far, and send you a document checklist tailored to your business structure. From there, you work directly with them through our secure online portal, no calls required unless you want them.
Is my data actually secure?
Greenback uses bank-grade, 256-bit encryption for all document transfers via our portal. Your sensitive financial data is never sent via unencrypted email and is only accessible to the experts working directly on your return.
What information do I need to get started?
You’ll need your business structure details (entity type, EIN, state of formation), your prior-year business return if available, income and expense records for the tax year, and information about any foreign accounts or foreign corporations connected to your business. Your dedicated accountant will provide a full checklist once you’re matched.
