Living abroad doesn’t mean escaping the IRS.
If you’re an American in Ecuador (or anywhere overseas), you’re still required to file US taxes every year. Miss a deadline or skip an FBAR, and you could face penalties of $10,000+ per account.
I’m Chip Moreno, an American living in Cuenca and the founder of FileAbroad. I help US expats navigate the maze of international tax requirements — so you can stay compliant without the stress.
Services I offer:
✓ U.S. Federal Tax Returns — Complete preparation for expats, including all foreign income reporting
✓ FBAR Filing (FinCEN 114) — Required if your foreign accounts exceed $10,000 at any point during the year
✓ FATCA Compliance (Form 8938) — Foreign financial asset reporting
✓ Foreign Earned Income Exclusion — Exclude up to $130,000 of foreign earnings from U.S. tax
✓ Foreign Tax Credits — Avoid double taxation on income taxed by Ecuador
✓ State Tax Guidance — Yes, some states still want to tax you
Why work with me?
→ I’m an expat myself — I understand the challenges firsthand
→ Direct communication, no assistants or runaround
→ Flexible scheduling across time zones
→ Personalized service, not a tax factory
