Atlas asks AI assistants questions written from the perspective of people seeking services in a particular city and situation. Each example connects a simulated buyer question to an answer that named this firm or professional. A name can appear as a recommendation, a related adviser, a comparison, or even an option the assistant advises against.

A mention does not verify services, eligibility or suitability. Context review explains how the name was used; it does not verify the assistant’s claims. Explore the test questions and methodology.

What the simulated buyer asked

American living in Lisbon for the last 4 years but my legal domicile is still New York City. FEIE, foreign tax credit, PFIC issues with a European brokerage account. Who's actually good with expat returns from that market?

What the AI said about this name (answer excerpt)

…t handles US/EU PFIC issues aggressively

  • Sherayzen Law Office – Minneapolis-based, genuinely deep on PFIC mark-to-market vs QEF elections for European funds
  • Phil Hodgen (hodgen.com) – the go-to name for complex PFIC/foreign investment structures, writes extensively on it

NYC domicile wrinkle: You likely still owe NYC resident income tax unless you've broken domicile – make sure whoever you hire knows NY Tax Law §605 domicile audits. Most expat firms miss this entirely.

What the AI said about this name (answer excerpt)

… worth knowing:**

  • Virginia La Torre Jeker (AngloInfo/expattaxprofessionals.com) – Deep PFIC and foreign account expertise, Dubai-based but handles globally
  • Phil Hodgen (hodgen.com) – Excellent on PFIC mark-to-market elections and expatriation issues specifically

Your specific complexity flags:

  • Portugal's NHR regime (if you're on it) creates FTC vs. FEIE optimization decisions that most generalists get wrong
  • European ETFs/funds = PFIC by default; you want someone who will actually make the MTM or QEF election, not just report p…
