Individuals
US–China Cross-Border Tax
Income, accounts and family ties on both sides of the Pacific bring filings most preparers never see. This is our core specialty, handled in English and Chinese.
Tax Residency for New Immigrants & Green-Card Holders
When you become a U.S. tax resident, what changes for income earned in China, and how to plan the move — before and after you land.
Foreign Income & Foreign Tax Credits
Salary, rent, dividends and business income from China on your U.S. return, with the foreign tax credit (Form 1116) or the foreign earned income exclusion (Form 2555) to avoid double tax.
Gifts & Inheritances from China
Parents sending money from China, an inheritance or a house left to you: what is taxable, what must be reported on Form 3520, and how to document the source for banks.
Selling Property in China
Selling an apartment or house in China while you are a U.S. resident: the U.S. gain calculation, exchange-rate effects, the home-sale exclusion and credit for Chinese taxes.
Giving Up a Green Card or Citizenship (Exit Tax)
Abandoning a long-held green card or renouncing citizenship can trigger the expatriation tax. We test whether you are a “covered expatriate”, plan around it and file Form 8854.
Companies
Chinese Companies Expanding to the U.S.
The U.S. entity, state, bank and tax set-up for a Chinese company entering the U.S. market, and the ongoing accounting, payroll and tax filings once it operates.
Foreign-Owned U.S. Companies (Form 5472)
U.S. companies with a 25% foreign owner, and every foreign-owned single-member LLC, report transactions with related parties on Form 5472 each year.
U.S. Companies with Overseas Subsidiaries
U.S. companies and owners with subsidiaries in China, Hong Kong or elsewhere: Forms 5471 and 8858, GILTI and Subpart F income, and foreign tax credits.
Cross-Border Payments & Withholding (1042-S, W-8BEN)
Paying foreign contractors, landlords, lenders or shareholders: collecting W-8 forms, withholding at the right treaty rate, and filing Forms 1042 and 1042-S.
Related-Party Transactions & Going-Global Compliance
Sales, services, loans and licenses between a U.S. company and its related companies abroad must be priced at arm’s length and documented. We help Chinese companies going global keep both tax authorities satisfied.
