A Korean accountant isn't going to know anything about American taxes.

Find an accountant back home that has experience with income earned abroad.

I don't know your particular tax situation. For all I know, you may have a very complicated tax situation. However, it really is not that difficult to enter foreign income in the turbotax program and as a result get the Foreign Income Exclusion.

Oh, but my situation is difficult, I have bank accounts on three different continents, joint property, IRAs, and am filing separately, sigh. I'll try turbotax though.

That does sound potentially like a real headache.

I'm using turbo tax right now. My husband doesn't have a SSN, or an ITIN. And it won't let me enter my income. Arg. I tried H and R Block and another one. And they wouldn't work with a foreign address Crying or Very sad ANd I owe taxes because I taught privates. I can't decide which is worse: death, taxes or Peru Smile
