International Tax Landscape
The US-Mexico tax treaty (1992) provides relief for cross-border workers, maquiladora operators, and US businesses with Mexican operations. Mexican nationals who are US green card holders or citizens must report Mexican bank accounts, AFORE retirement accounts, and Mexican real property on FBAR and FATCA forms. Cross-border workers in San Diego-Tijuana, El Paso-Ciudad Juárez, and Laredo-Nuevo Laredo corridors face complex filing requirements for Mexican-source income. US real estate investors in Cancún, Los Cabos, Puerto Vallarta, and Mexico City frequently face fideicomiso (bank trust) reporting obligations. SCL assists clients with Mexican account disclosure, cross-border income reporting, and voluntary disclosure procedures.

Frequently Asked Questions — Mexico IRS Tax Help
What US tax obligations do US citizens living in Mexico have?
US citizens and green card holders in Mexico must file US tax returns on worldwide income including Mexican salary, rental income, and business income. The US-Mexico tax treaty provides foreign tax credits, but FBAR reporting for Mexican bank accounts (BBVA, Banamex, Santander Mexico, Banorte) is required for accounts exceeding $10,000 in aggregate value. Mexican nationals who are US tax residents must also report worldwide income to the IRS.
Are cross-border business activities between the US and Mexico reported to the IRS?
Yes. US citizens with Mexican business interests — maquiladoras, import/export companies, real estate, or farming operations — must report all Mexican business income and related foreign accounts. Mexican income paid to US persons is subject to Mexican withholding — these withholdings qualify as foreign tax credits on the US return. SCL guides US-Mexico business owners through cross-border tax compliance and FBAR obligations.
Can Segal, Cohen & Landis represent US citizens in Mexico?
Yes. SCL represents US citizens throughout Mexico — Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Cancún, San Miguel de Allende, and beyond — by phone and video. We handle Mexican expat US tax filings, FBAR, cross-border business tax issues, and IRS voluntary disclosure. Spanish language services are available.
How quickly can you stop a wage garnishment or bank levy?
In most cases, we can issue an IRS levy release or garnishment suspension within 24–72 hours of being retained, pending IRS processing. The first step is a free consultation to assess your situation.
What is the cost of a tax attorney consultation?
We offer a free initial consultation to evaluate your situation. Fee schedules vary by case type and complexity — we are transparent about fees before any engagement.
