U.S. tax preparation for Americans living in Mexico
Universal Tax Professionals files U.S. federal returns for Americans in Mexico — Form 1040, FEIE / FTC decision, Foreign Tax Credit (Form 1116), FBAR (FinCEN 114), FATCA (Form 8938), the U.S.-Mexico tax treaty, and the RFC / Mexican tax interaction.
Contact Universal Tax Professionals →Filing U.S. taxes from Mexico has its own quirks. The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion ($132,900 for tax year 2026) has exact-day-counting rules and the U.S.-Mexico tax treaty has specific Social Security and pension provisions. The Foreign Tax Credit usually beats the FEIE for someone paying Mexican ISR — but most domestic CPAs default to the FEIE because it’s simpler. Add FBAR for your Mexican bank account, FATCA Form 8938 for foreign assets, and the RFC complications, and you need a CPA who specializes in expats. Universal Tax Professionals does only this — Americans abroad — and they handle Mexico-resident returns regularly.
