I would be very careful using a foreign (to the US) tax accountant for filing US returns, especially if you have some sort of dispute going on with the IRS. I lived in Phuket for one year (2005/2006) before moving to BKK. I have always used a US-based tax accountant for my US returns while living and working overseas. I then use a Thai CPA for my Thai Ltd. Co. returns and work with her to complete the US info forms the IRS requires for the Thai co (Income Statement, Balance sheet, shareholder info, etc).

I would be concerned that if your dispute with the IRS becomes more protracted, a US-based tax accountant is better equipped to handle it and meet with the IRS personally if that becomes necessary.

In general, the IRS has been looking more closely at US expat returns, especially pertaining to reporting of offshore bank accounts.

Be careful.

I suggest you contact:

"US-Taxman.com" All their contact info is available on Google.

They are based in Bangkok, but if they cannot help you directly, they may know someone in Phuket who can.

I wish you the best,

My friend from USA who comes here every year for 3 months (Oct. 15-Jan. 15) is a CPA back home. If you would like to talk to him on his cell phone PM me and I will give you his cell phone number.

if IRS is looking to get more money, you should be looking for tax lawyer instead of accountant.
