Frequently asked questions
Can an accountant handle a foreign-owned LLC?
Some providers specifically serve foreign-owned LLCs, but the required filings depend on ownership, activity, transactions and tax status. Ask what information they need and whether international reporting is included or referred to another specialist.
What should an expat bring to a tax appointment?
Prepare prior returns, income records, details of time spent in each country, foreign account or investment information and any notices received. Request a provider-specific checklist because international filings can require additional documentation.
Can an accountant correct a prior-year return?
Some tax preparers handle prior-year corrections or amended returns. Bring the original filing, supporting documents and any tax-agency notice, then ask whether the issue requires an amendment, response or separate filing.
Do small-business accountants also provide payroll help?
Some do, while others focus on tax preparation or advisory work. Ask whether payroll setup, recurring processing, filings, year-end forms and payroll-related bookkeeping are included in the proposed service.
Can I work with a Denver accountant remotely?
Remote accounting is available from some providers, but confirm secure document exchange, meeting arrangements, response times and state coverage. A remote setup should still include a clear process for reviewing and approving the final filing.
