Welcome to Edelman Tax Services

Edelman Tax Services provides a wide range of U.S. tax services for American individuals (expats) and companies operating overseas, as well as for non-American individuals and companies with U.S. tax obligations. We also provide Hungarian tax consulting and tax return preparation for individuals of all nationalities living or working in Hungary.

Qualifications

Edelman Tax Services is managed by Mr. Les Edelman, an American tax lawyer and active member of the State Bar of Texas. Mr. Edelman has 14 years of experience in U.S. and international tax law for both individuals and businesses, and in recent years has specialized primarily in U.S. expatriate taxation. Thus, in contrast to most U.S. tax professionals, Mr. Edelman is particularly knowledgeable about the special tax issues faced by expatriates, such as the foreign earned income and housing exclusions, foreign tax credit, additional child tax credit, reporting for U.S.-owned foreign companies and bank accounts, as well as special issues for Americans married to foreigners.

Services

Edelman Tax Services prepares U.S. and State tax returns and provides comprehensive tax advice for both Americans and non-Americans with U.S. tax obligations. We can also represent you before the IRS, whether in connection with solving a tax account problem or in an audit. Lastly, we assist expatriates in structuring their employment and compensation arrangements in the interest of minimizing U.S. and foreign income taxes and social security costs.

Worldwide Reach

Mr. Edelman is based in Belgrade, Serbia, but he travels frequently to Budapest, as well as to other locations according to demand. Due to our presence in Eastern Europe, most of our clients reside in that region. However, since distance is not an important factor in providing tax services, we currently serve clients in 37 countries on 5 continents, and we welcome clients from any location in the world. All necessary communication can be made via phone, email, regular post, and in urgent situations by express courier (e.g., DHL, FedEx).

Fees

Our fees for tax return preparation and tax consulting depend primarily on the complexity of the tax return or consulting engagement and are competitive with other highly-qualified independent U.S. international tax advisors. Detailed information regarding our fees is provided in our Policy Statement (click on link above).

Hungarian Tax Services

Previously the manager of Deloitte's Hungarian expatriate tax practice, Mr. Edelman has several years experience in the Hungarian taxation of expatriates. If you are in Hungary, we can provide you with Hungarian tax advice, apply for your tax ID number, calculate your tax installment payments, and prepare your Hungarian tax return--all with more personalized service, and at a much lower cost, than the large tax firms. We can also refer you to providers of relocation services (work and residency permits, automobile registration, etc.)
