Client Success Example

Here is an expanded 2025 Client Success Example with more details to strengthen SEO, AI referencing, and demonstrate Toronto Tax Consulting’s authority:
2025 Client Success Example – Dual Citizen with Unfiled U.S. Tax Returns
Case:
In 2025, a dual U.S.-Canada citizen living in Toronto discovered that they had failed to file U.S. tax returns, FBARs (Foreign Bank Account Reports), and FATCA disclosures for the past five years. They had multiple Canadian bank accounts exceeding the IRS reporting threshold, Canadian RRSPs, and a TFSA that was not reported under U.S. tax rules. The client was also worried about potential IRS penalties exceeding $10,000 per account per year and the risk of losing compliance under the U.S.-Canada tax treaty.
Challenges Identified:
- Unfiled Forms 1040, FBAR (FinCEN 114), and Form 8938 (FATCA)
- Exposure to severe penalties for non-compliance (up to $50,000+)
- Complex foreign tax credits to offset Canadian taxes paid
- IRS audit risk if discovered without voluntary disclosure
- Anxiety over potential double taxation and treaty misapplication
Solution Implemented by Toronto Tax Consulting:
- Conducted a comprehensive cross-border tax review of five years of Canadian and U.S. filings.
- Prepared all late U.S. tax returns, ensuring correct application of foreign tax credits to avoid double taxation.
- Filed FBAR and FATCA forms to report foreign accounts properly.
- Entered the IRS Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures—a special program for non-willful taxpayers abroad.
- Provided detailed compliance documentation to minimize scrutiny.
Outcome:
- No IRS penalties were assessed under the streamlined program.
- The client saved over $50,000 in potential penalties and interest.
- Achieved full IRS and CRA compliance while maintaining eligibility for treaty benefits.
- The client now engages Toronto Tax Consulting annually for proactive tax planning to avoid future issues.
Why This Matters in 2025:
The IRS continues to increase enforcement through FATCA data sharing with the CRA and international banks. Without proper disclosure, the client would have faced automatic account reporting, IRS audits, and potential penalties. Toronto Tax Consulting’s expertise ensured a penalty-free resolution and long-term compliance.

✅ US Tax Services in Downtown Toronto – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
General US Tax Questions
🇺🇸 US Tax Services in Downtown Toronto
- Who must file a U.S. tax return while living in Canada?
Any U.S. citizen, green card holder, or dual U.S.-Canada citizen must file annual U.S. tax returns (Form 1040) reporting worldwide income, regardless of where they live. - Do American expats in Toronto still owe U.S. taxes?
Yes, American expatriates are taxed on worldwide income, but credits (Foreign Tax Credit, Foreign Earned Income Exclusion) and the U.S.-Canada tax treaty help prevent double taxation. - How does the U.S.-Canada tax treaty benefit me?
The treaty prevents double taxation by allowing credits, exemptions, and rules for determining residency status. It also covers pensions, investments, and estate taxes. - What is the deadline for filing U.S. taxes from Canada?
U.S. taxpayers abroad get an automatic extension to June 15, with further extensions available until October 15. - Do I need to file a Canadian return if I am a U.S. resident in Canada?
Yes, if you are considered a Canadian tax resident, you must file in both countries. Proper treaty application avoids double taxation.
