Optimizing American and Canadian tax compliance for US taxpayers living in Canada.
I am Orion Carrier, owner and operator of U.S. Tax Victoria. I am a tax preparer registered with the IRS. I also provide Canadian tax filing services for individuals in need of cross-border services.
As an independent accountant, I am free to offer personalized service you would not normally receive from an accountant.
Ask about the penalty-free U.S. tax amnesty program! Helping US citizens living abroad file taxes, or become compliant without penalty, is my specialty.
Services include:
- U.S. and Canadian tax filings for US taxpayers living in, or moving to or from, Canada;
- streamlined filings (US amnesty);
- Canadian Voluntary Disclosures;
- exploring tax scenarios and options, free to existing clients;
- U.S. citizenship renunciation, or green card relinquishment;
Why Choose U.S. Tax Victoria?
Affordable Initial Consultation
At US Tax Victoria, we offer an affordable initial consultation, that is then refunded on your first invoice. There is also no charge if you require services for which we cannot assist, unless we alert you to that before the call and you still want to consult.
At this consultation, we provide you with timely, valuable information relevant to your circumstances that will allow you to proceed with any tax professional of your choosing with greater confidence. This .consultation also gives us chance to meet each other, to make sure we’re a good fit for you and vice versa.
US Tax Victoria Has Your Back!
I always tell my clients that cross-border planning can be more impactful on your bottom line than retirement planning! So I encourage my clients ALWAYS to ask questions before pulling the trigger on any new financial arrangement you may be contemplating. Know the potentially costly tax and information filing obligations that may be triggered in advance!
If you and we proceed to work together, we are available for any questions you may have, unless the question is obscure and requires significant research on our part (in which unusual case, an hourly rate may apply).
If for some reason a legal opinion is needed, we offer to quarterback obtaining that opinion for you at no charge. This makes sure the right questions are asked, so that the legal opinion actually answers the questions you need answered.
Audits and Corrections
At US Tax Victoria, we pride ourselves on making your tax return “audiot proof”. That said, audits do happen. We provide audit support in most cases free of charge, where the audit does not involve foreign tax credits on Canadian tax returns.
Needless to say, we do our utmost to ensure your tax return is correct, accurate and complete, but in the event an error is discovered, we do not charge you for any correction we submit. We stand behind our work!
No Surprise Fees
We’ve all had occasion to be startled by the amount on invoices from professionals. At US Tax Victoria, we appreciate this.
Due to the complexity and surprises often inherent in cross-border tax work, it is sometimes difficult to predict all the work that will be required for a given tax return. Consequently, US Tax Victoria does not offer quotes per se, but we do estimate fees on request, to give you a sense of the likely fees in advance.
If in the process of completing the agreed-upon work it is discovered that more work than initially anticipated is required, we will discuss the extra cost with you before proceeding, unless we have your explicit authorization in advance.
