For the first time since moving to Israel, I needed to file tax returns
in the U.S. this year, and for a number of reasons it was quite
complicated, so I was not able to do my own. This gentleman's
post on a user group caught my attention because we share the
same surname, and he was running an early bird special a few
months before the normal filing time. I thought I'd give it a try,
and he saved me quite a bundle off the tax I would have had to pay.
His rates are quite reasonable. You do not have to travel to Jerusalem
to work with him; he is willing to complete all transactions by
phone/fax/internet (and a check by regular mail).
I will definitely work with him again and am happy to recommend him:

Shimon Galitzer in Jerusalem-tax authority
I recommend Shimon Galitzer, in Jerusalem. He is certified both in
the US as well as in Israel. He's not cheap, but he is authoritative.
After you consult with him, you can use one of the more junior people
in the office for taxes, etc., which will be cheaper.

New & Improved Tax Benefits
With the advent of the new calendar year 2009, I am happy to announce
3 benefits, which are either brand-new or "newly improved" for this
year. Two are from the IRS [US taxpayers], while the third is from
Mas Hachnasa, the Israeli Tax Authority.
1. CHILD TAX CREDIT: This [2008 tax] year's "threshold" or
"deductible" has been reduced to $8,500 [down from $11,750 for 2007]!
Even with no tax liability, you may be eligible to receive a refund
of up to $1,000 per child, based on the amount over the "deductible"
which is credited at 15%. Children have to be under 17 years of age,
and have a valid Social Security number. Income of both parents
counts towards the credit, and only one of them needs to have US
Citizenship. Single parents can also receive this credit. You may
also claim this credit retroactively for the tax years 2005-2007. The
return for the year 2005 must be filed by April 15, 2009.
2. REBATES: Last year's [tax year 2007] rebates, known as the
Economic Stimulus Payments, has been restructured for 2008 and is now
called "Recovery Rebate Credit." If you MISSED your rebate in 2007,
by filing after Oct. 15, 2008 [or for any other reason], you can
still get it when you file your 2008 tax return. It is still $300 per
person, including each parent [with a US Social Security number] and
children under 17 with Social Security numbers. Unlike last year, it
is now included as a credit on this year's tax return, and will be
added to your refund check [or direct deposit].
3. ISRAEL ONLY - NEW "NEGATIVE INCOME TAX" [Mas Shlili] or Earned
Income Credit: For low-income earners in Israel, there is, for the
first time, a credit where even the ISRAELI government is paying
money to taxpayers! If you earned NIS 3,000 or less per month, you
can receive a refund from Mas Hachnasa. This can be obtained from as
early as the year 2007. However, the program is being "phased in,"
meaning that not all areas are included in the first year of
benefits. Jerusalem and Netanya are included. Eventually, it will
apply nationwide.

Ariel Rosenthal-efficient refund
I would like to highly recommend... ARIEL ROSENTHAL of
Xpatrefunds for a convenient, efficient and fast way to file
your US taxes (for the child rebate) .
After we gave her our documentation, her company submitted
our tax application directly to the IRS through the internet, so
we didn't even have to shlep to the post office to mail it and we
received the check much more quickly than usual!
She is also reasonably priced and gracious to work with.
Ariel Rosenthal's phone number is 02-992- 0514
her email is jacobrosenthal@yahoo.com
Now the dollar just needs to go up :)

David Rosenbaum saved us lots of $ on taxes
DAVID ROSENBAUM, is personally licenses for both US and
Israeli taxes. He's a trusted accountant for individuals and small
to medium businesses in Bet Shemesh (I first heard about him
from "vatikim" here). He also meets with clients in Jerusalem
and Tel Aviv, although often most can be done via phone
and email consultations after an initial meeting.
He has saved us lots of money on our taxes here and in the
US, just by putting information in the right places. Even
though I always did our taxes myself in the US, it was more
than worth it to get his help during our transition year and
the one after.
He can be reached at 052-342-8940. Good luck!
