US citizen wants to pay tax on rental in Mexico -Recommendations on how to do it or who to contact PLEASE

[Michelle3324]

Hi,

I'm a US citizen and purchased a home in BCS. I am in great need of getting my taxes set up correctly and need to know the exact steps I need to take.

It is really confusing!

So far, this is what I heard: 

Some say I  may need a Temp Resident visa 

Some say I may need to contact INM to receive permission to earn money

Some say I may contact SAT office to obtain RFC

Some say I may need to hire an accountant (any personal recommendations would be great)

What I really need is to know what are the actual steps and in what specific order. 

I need to do to make this all good and legit.

I want to do the right thing and pay taxes the correct way!!

Also, if anyone has any recommendations for either a facilitator or accountant that could help me that would be great!!

Thank tons and have a fantastic day!

You need a US accountant with experience of dealing with tax issues in Mexico @Michelle3324 

you could ask on your local host group for recommendations
