Tax Return Preparation

Preparation of U.S. and Jamaican tax filings for individuals, partnerships, corporations, estates, trusts, and exempt organizations. This includes U.S. forms such as 1040, 1120, 1065, and 990, filed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and Jamaican forms such as IT02, IT03, IT05, and S04, filed with Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ). Our integrated approach ensures accuracy and consistency across jurisdictions, minimizing errors and maintaining a complete, coordinated compliance record.

Advisory Review & Scenario Mapping

Strategic analysis of income streams, residency status, entity structure, and long-term planning. We assess treaty relief, credit applications, free-zone taxation, and intercompany frameworks to anticipate risks, manage exposure, and structure operations for clarity and control, regardless of where you operate.

Tax Compliance

Comprehensive filing, reporting, and documentation under U.S. federal and state regulations as well as Jamaican tax and statutory requirements — including income tax, GCT, employer contributions, and withholding. Our team ensures all filings and deadlines are completed accurately, maintaining full compliance with the IRS, state authorities, and Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ). Through a unified compliance framework, CrichtonMullings minimizes uncertainty and ensures every obligation, whether domestic or cross-border, is met with precision and consistency.

Support for U.S. persons abroad and Jamaican taxpayers navigating foreign tax credits, FATCA, FBAR, PFIC, and treaty benefits under the U.S.–Jamaica Income Tax Treaty.
