Missed the June 15 expat deadline? File now to stop penalties accumulating
File nowLate US tax filing for Americans in Amsterdam.
Missed the June 15 expat deadline? We file late 2025 returns daily. A licensed international tax advisor stops the penalty clock and files your 1040, 2555/1116, FBAR and Form 8833 — 30% ruling handled correctly. From $250.
Every day you wait costs more.
June 15 was the automatic 2-month extension for US citizens abroad. Now the failure-to-file penalty runs at 5% per month of unpaid tax, on top of interest that's been accruing since April 15. Filing this week limits the damage.
5% / month FTF penalty
Failure-to-file penalty is now running at 5% per month of unpaid US tax, capped at 25%. Stops the moment you file.
Interest since April 15
Interest on unpaid US tax has been accruing since April 15 at the federal short-term rate plus 3%. Stops only when you file and pay.
FBAR still auto-extends
FBAR (FinCEN 114) automatically extends to October 15 — no form needed. We file it with your 1040 in one clean package.
30% ruling? Don't overpay the IRS.
The 30% ruling reduces your Dutch taxable salary — which means less Dutch tax paid — which means a smaller Foreign Tax Credit on your US return. Get the sourcing and treaty position wrong and you leave thousands on the table (or trigger an IRS letter). We get it right.
Correct US-source allocation
30% portion isn't automatically US-sourced — it depends on workdays. We compute the right split so you maximise FTC.
Treaty position on Form 8833
Where applicable, we disclose the NL–US treaty position so the IRS doesn't reclassify your 30% benefit.
FEIE compatibility check
Combining 30% ruling with FEIE rarely makes sense — but in some cases it does. We model it.
Four steps from inbox to filed.
A short 15-min intro call (a licensed advisor responds within 48 hours of your request), signed engagement, payment, and we file your late return — usually within days, not weeks. Total time on your side: about 30 minutes.

“I needed to understand the implications of early exercising my stock options as an American in Amsterdam. The memo helped me unlock >20% in tax savings I didn't know I was leaving on the table.”
David K.
Solutions Engineer at Stripe · Amsterdam
“My previous firm completely botched the 30% ruling sourcing on my 1040 — I'd overpaid the IRS by $4k for two years. Agentax fixed it on the current return and amended the prior years.”
Emily R.
Product Lead at Booking.com · Amsterdam
“Running a BV while keeping my US citizenship is a tax minefield — GILTI, Subpart F, Form 5471. Agentax walked me through it without the usual jargon and filed everything on time.”
