Filing Your U.S. Personal Taxes Shouldn’t Be a Headache

If you’re a U.S. citizen living in Canada (or a Canadian with U.S. income), you already know how complicated cross-border taxes can be. Between FBARs, 8938s, and 3520s, it’s easy to miss a form — and the penalties can be steep.

At Talbot & Associates, we make U.S. tax filing clear, compliant, and stress-free — so you can get back to your life with peace of mind.

Missing a single form can cost thousands.
Many Canadians and U.S. citizens living abroad discover too late that they were required to file extra U.S. forms. Not filing properly can affect your ability to collect Social Security, delay refunds, or even trigger penalties from the IRS.

You deserve clarity — not confusion — when it comes to your cross-border taxes.

Daniel Piche at Talbot is a saviour.
I foolishly thought I could do a US tax return and ITIN application myself, and after a few stressed out nights emailed Daniel at Talbot.

Daniel scheduled a free consultation call with me to ensure that my expectations would be met, made it seamless for me to submit my documents, and finally finished my paperwork in less than a week’s turnaround time.
Highly recommend, would use again 10/10 times.

Stephen Kissin

My wife and I have used Talbot Associates to prepare our US tax return for several years and have been completely satisfied with their service. Their service has been prompt and at a reasonable cost considering the complexity of our return. I have recommended them to other dual nationals, as well.

Austin Cho-Wong

I approached Talbot & Associates for filing Canada/USA Tax Returns – their quality of work was superb. Would highly recommend them for income tax returns in Canada, USA, or for both at once.

Common Questions About U.S. Tax Filing

Do I need to file even if I don’t owe U.S. tax?
Yes — many forms (like FBAR or FATCA 8938) are still required even if no tax is due, and missing them can result in penalties.

What if I haven’t filed for several years?
We can help you get caught up through streamlined compliance programs and help you stay compliant going forward.

Can I do it myself?
You could — but U.S./Canadian tax coordination is complex. Hiring a specialist often saves money, time, and future stress.
