I never filed my 2018 Taxes!!! Now I have to file 2019.

My accountant really struggled with being able to do my taxes because international expat taxes is something they haven’t previously worked with.

I can’t file myself because I’m married and we file separately because my partner has no identification number. Also, we don’t want to have to pay money on his income back to a country that currently doesn’t provide us with anything (him especially, he is not even a green card holder).

Can anyone help? Similar experiences? Who should I go to! I don’t have a lot of money, unfortunately, but I would just like to get this weight off my shoulders.

Feeling like you need to fire your accountant and get a new one…..this is there main work. If they are struggling this is a clear clue you have the wrong person.

Yes, find a specialist for expats. You probably don’t want to make your spouse a subject of the US, but in some cases it might make sense. Us expats likely have to file as married filing separately to avoid bringing our spouse into the corrupt US system. If you have children, you may be able to claim head of household which gives a slightly better tax situation, but keep receipts, as you need to prove you paid most the household expenses.
