Client context
US Expatriates & Internationally Mobile Families
US tax and ownership decisions designed before the move, not after it.
Thyor advises US citizens and business owners living abroad on expatriate filings, international tax, state residency, exit and relocation planning, foreign-business interests and coordination across jurisdictions.
The context
What makes this decision environment different.
US expatriates and international families operate across tax systems that were not designed to coordinate with one another. Citizenship, residence, foreign companies, property, investment accounts and family members in different jurisdictions can turn routine financial decisions into multi-country reporting and tax questions.
Thyor provides US tax advisory and filing alongside cross-border planning, with local-country specialists coordinated where needed. The emphasis is on planning before relocations, transactions and ownership changes rather than discovering the consequences only when a return is due.
Pressures
Where the situation usually becomes difficult.
- 01
US filing obligations continue abroad
Citizenship-based taxation and information reporting continue even when residence, employment and assets move overseas.
- 02
Residency rules overlap
Federal, state and foreign residence positions can produce conflicting assumptions, double-tax exposure and filing complexity.
- 03
Foreign entities create information reporting
Companies, partnerships, accounts and investments may trigger specialised US forms and classification questions.
- 04
A move or liquidity event changes the tax position
Relocation, expatriation, equity compensation, a business sale or an inheritance can materially alter timing and reporting choices.
Where Thyor is engaged
Situations that tend to require a senior outside view.
- 01
US expatriate tax return preparation

- 02
Residence and relocation planning
Assess timing, state domicile, treaty, compensation, entity and cash-flow consequences before the move.

Exit-tax and business-owner planning
Model expatriation, ownership, liquidity-event and post-move consequences with legal counsel where required.
How engagements work here
The delivery model adapts to the client, not the other way around.
Advisory and compliance connected
Planning decisions flow into return preparation and information reporting rather than being handed to a disconnected preparer.
Multi-jurisdiction coordination
Thyor maintains the US position and coordinates established local advisers where foreign law or filing is required.
Business-owner context
Entity, company, compensation and transaction issues are considered alongside the individual return.
No tax litigation
The firm supports tax resolution and administrative matters but coordinates attorneys for court proceedings and privileged legal advice.
