Your agent's compliance memory

Check your documents before USCIS does

We cross-check your immigration and tax filings to find mismatches, missing forms, and deadline risks you don't know about yet.

Private by design. Your documents never leave your computer before you approve it — and with the local extension, never at all.

The most popular tax software is defaulting you into mistakes

TurboTax cannot file Form 1040-NR at all. Other software often defaults you to the wrong form. One wrong default cascades into:

$1.5M+
potential penalty exposure
from one wrong default in your tax software
50% of your foreign savings
Family bank accounts abroad over $10K? TurboTax defaults to "No."
FBAR
$25,000 per year, retroactively
Foreign-owned LLC? Required every year, even with $0 revenue.
Form 5472
25% of every family transfer
Parents sent money for tuition? Over $100K requires reporting.*
Form 3520
Your visa status contradicted
Filing as a resident when you’re not. Affects future applications.
Wrong form
$10,000+ in additional penalties
Foreign assets over $50K need a separate form from FBAR.
FATCA
*Form 3520, FBAR, and FATCA apply only if you are a US tax resident (meet the Substantial Presence Test). Guardian checks this for you.
From the courts
