"After making Aliyah, I had no idea how complicated my US tax situation would become. Cohen Partners explained everything in plain English, coordinated with my CPA in New York, and saved me from a six-figure mistake on my GILTI inclusion. They're our family's Israeli accountants for life."

FAQ

Common Questions from Anglo Clients

Do I need an Israeli CPA if I'm a US citizen with Israeli income?
Yes. US citizens are taxed on worldwide income regardless of where they live. If you have Israeli rental income, an Israeli company, or other Israeli-source income, you must file both Israeli tax returns and US tax returns. Coordinating both systems requires an Israeli CPA familiar with US tax law.
What is the 10-year exemption for olim chadashim?
Israel's 10-year tax exemption for new immigrants exempts foreign-source income and certain capital gains from Israeli tax for 10 years from the date of Aliyah. Proper planning before and during this period can save hundreds of thousands of dollars.
What is FBAR and do I need to file it?
FBAR (FinCEN Form 114) is required when a US person has foreign financial accounts with an aggregate value exceeding $10,000 at any time during the year. This includes Israeli bank accounts, kupot gemel, keren hishtalmut, and brokerage accounts. Penalties for non-filing start at $10,000 per violation.
How does GILTI affect Americans owning Israeli companies?
GILTI requires US shareholders of Controlled Foreign Corporations to include certain undistributed earnings in their US taxable income annually. For Americans owning Israeli companies, this can create unexpected US tax liability. Proper structuring (Section 962 election, GILTI high-tax exception) can mitigate the impact significantly.
Can you help me file my US taxes from Israel?
We coordinate with US-licensed CPAs and Enrolled Agents to ensure complete dual-jurisdiction filing. We handle the Israeli side completely, prepare all documentation needed for US filing (translated and reconciled), and work seamlessly with your US tax preparer or refer you to one we trust.
What hours are you available for clients abroad?
We schedule calls for our US clients between 9 AM and 4 PM Israel time, which corresponds to 2 AM - 9 AM EST. We also offer evening calls (Israel time) for East Coast morning meetings. All consultations can be done via Zoom, Teams, or phone.
How are your fees structured?
For ongoing services (bookkeeping, annual filing): flat monthly fee. For project work (FBAR, valuations, M&A): fixed-fee engagement letter. For consultations: hourly. We're transparent about pricing upfront and provide detailed engagement letters before any work begins.
Are you also licensed in the US?
Our firm is licensed as a CPA in Israel. For US-licensed work (signing US tax returns), we partner with US CPAs and Enrolled Agents. This dual-firm approach ensures the highest expertise on both sides.
