Whether you’re a non-US resident with US-source income, a US citizen abroad, or a global entrepreneur needing IRS compliance, we’ll prepare and file your federal tax return with expertise, security, and confidence.
US tax obligations extend well beyond US borders. If any of the following apply to your situation, you likely have a federal filing requirement, regardless of where you live or your citizenship status.
If you earned wages, consulting fees, rental income, or investment returns from US sources, the IRS requires you to file, even if you never visited the United States.
Foreign nationals who own a US LLC, corporation, or partnership typically have a business income tax return obligation, regardless of whether profits were distributed.
Own US rental property or recently sold US real estate? FIRPTA rules and annual rental income reporting require accurate filing to avoid penalties and recover any withheld amounts.
The US taxes its citizens on worldwide income. If you're a citizen or permanent resident living outside the US and meet income thresholds, you must still file annually.
If US tax was withheld from dividends, royalties, or service income, you may be entitled to a full or partial refund. Filing a return is the only way to claim it, even if you had US tax withheld.
Foreign investors receiving US-source dividends, capital gain distributions, or proceeds from the sale of US securities may have a reporting obligation under IRS regulations.
Non-resident tax returns, whether a business income tax return for a US LLC, a rental property filing, or a personal return for employment income, require a level of specialization that goes beyond standard US tax preparation. Applying the wrong residency classification, missing a treaty election, or selecting the incorrect form can result in overpaid tax, penalties, or IRS correspondence that takes months to resolve. Here is what sets Nolly apart.
Our specialists understand every nuance of the Form 1040-NR instructions, residency determinations, applicable elections, treaty article citations, and IRS schedules, as well as the full range of Form 1040 obligations for US citizens and resident aliens living abroad. Whether your situation is straightforward or involves multiple income streams, we select and prepare the correct form every time.
All files submitted through Nolly's portal are encrypted end-to-end, in transit and at rest. Your passport, tax records, and financial information are handled with bank-level security standards. We do not retain sensitive documents beyond what is required to complete your return, and we never share your data with third parties.
Non-resident US tax returns involve a maze of forms, schedules, and deadlines that change depending on income type and residency status. Our team provides plain-language guidance on exactly what is required for your specific situation, no jargon, no assumptions, and no guesswork, so you understand precisely what you're filing and why.
We don't disappear after filing. Nolly actively tracks your return with the IRS, responds to any correspondence or queries, and follows up with you directly until your return is formally accepted and any refund has been released. You'll never be left wondering about the status of your filing.
Our process is fully remote and designed to work from anywhere in the world, no US presence required, no in-person meetings, and no navigating the IRS on your own. Here is exactly what happens when you work with Nolly.

If you are a non-resident alien, meaning you did not pass the Substantial Presence Test and do not hold a green card, you file the US IRS Form 1040NR (officially the Non-Resident Alien Income Tax Return), which is the standard non-resident US tax return. US citizens and green card holders file Form 1040, even when living outside the United States. Nolly determines the correct form during your intake questionnaire and follows the official Form 1040-NR instructions, so there is no guesswork on your end.
Yes. Earning US-source income creates a filing obligation in most cases, regardless of whether tax was withheld at source. Withholding is not a substitute for filing a non-resident US tax return or, where applicable, a business income tax return. A return is required to report income, apply deductions or treaty benefits, and either pay any tax owed or claim a refund of over-withheld amounts.
Yes. Depending on the state where you earned income or own property, a separate state return may also be required alongside your non-resident US tax form. Common states for non-resident filers include California, New York, and Texas. State returns are available as an add-on to your federal filing and are quoted separately.
It’s not too late. The IRS accepts late non-resident US tax returns or business income tax returns, and voluntary filing typically results in significantly lower penalties than waiting to be contacted by the IRS. Nolly prepares delinquent back-year filings using Form 1040-NR instructions and, where eligible, can submit penalty abatement requests on your behalf.
Yes. All files submitted through Nolly’s portal are encrypted end-to-end, in transit and at rest. We adhere to strict data handling standards when preparing your US IRS Form 1040 NR and do not retain sensitive documents beyond what is required to complete your return. Your information is never shared with third parties.
Standard US IRS Form 1040-NR filings start at $199, a flat, one-time fee that covers preparation, filing, and follow-up support through IRS acceptance. More complex returns, including those involving a business income tax return, are quoted at a higher flat rate. All fees are confirmed before any work begins, with no hidden charges.
