Accountant to file US Tax Return, etc

Post by Gurg15 »

Hi,

We are a USC+INC couple with kids, living in NCR. As part of relocation, our employer has provided tax services through a large accountant firm for the last couple of years. This year, I am on my own. I can retain the same firm or find a good Accountant in India.

I am in need of finding a good accountant that can file the US Tax Return, FBAR + Indian Tax Return. Our income is pretty straight forward - Salary in India + Stock in US.

Can you share the details of a good accountant that can 'input' this straight forward income and file the returns.

TIA!

Is knowing past filings that important? I have copies of all my filings for last 20 years :)
Retaining current 'large' accountant firm might be unnecesary wastage of monies in the long run as their fees are high.

From looking at my past returns, FBAR and ITR are pretty straight forward. A bit of work is needed on the US Tax Return, due to the tax credits that needed to be taken.

Whom do the R2I'ers use for these services? Any recommendations, please.
