The United States is one of the only countries that taxes by citizenship rather than residence. For the millions of Americans living abroad, that means two tax systems, duplicate paperwork, and rules written for people who never left. Aequify and Tax Fairness for Americans Abroad (TFFAA) approach this problem from two directions: better tools today, fairer rules tomorrow.

Two problems, one shared goal

TFFAA advocates for residence-based taxation so Americans abroad are taxed where they actually live. Aequify builds the software that makes compliance manageable while the current rules still apply. Both exist because the status quo asks ordinary people to behave like multinational tax departments.

Track worldwide income and account balances across every country you bank in.
Know which forms apply to you, from the FBAR to Form 8938 and beyond.
Surface treaty credits and exclusions before they expire, not after.
Hand your advisor a clean, complete picture in one click.

Better tools while the rules catch up

Expats should spend their energy on the life they moved abroad to build, not on reconciling two tax codes by hand.

Policy change is slow, but your filing deadlines are not. Until residence-based taxation becomes reality, the practical answer is software that organizes your cross-border finances continuously, so every reporting season starts from a complete picture instead of a shoebox of statements.
