Multilingual Tax Services in San Diego
Whether you run an e-commerce brand sourcing from China or own a San Diego-based logistics company, doing business internationally brings great opportunities — and greater complexity at tax time. At Lily Tax, we help bilingual business owners understand and manage cross-border tax issues clearly and confidently.
What Cross-Border Clients Face
Here are a few scenarios we often see:
- San Diego-based Amazon sellers importing from Shenzhen
- Online consultants paying contractors in China or Taiwan
- Entrepreneurs with PayPal/Stripe accounts tied to international currencies
- Small businesses confused by W-8BEN, 1099s, or Form 5472
Without proper planning, these can trigger IRS audits, 30% withholding, or loss of deductions.
A San Diego skincare startup we work with was unknowingly failing to issue the right forms to a Mandarin-speaking overseas supplier. We stepped in, fixed the compliance gap, and helped them reclaim over $3,000 in write-offs.
Why Language Access Matters
Cross-border paperwork is dense — and often poorly translated. Our bilingual team helps you:
- Understand forms like W-8BEN, W-9, and Form 1042-S
- Avoid IRS penalties tied to foreign contractor payments
- Track expenses, invoices, and currency conversions
- Plan year-round to minimize taxable income while staying compliant
Advisory + Bookkeeping = Confidence
For business clients, we offer:
- Monthly bookkeeping with international expense tracking
- Year-end strategy for minimizing self-employment and international tax burdens
- Multilingual consultations to support you — and your partners abroad
