Edvenson Consulting

Basically, mine is a 'boutique' law practice focused on providing American personal income tax reporting and follow-up services to Americans who live and work overseas. Tax reporting is done through my professional preparer status to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

I also engage in attorney referral services (in Norway to Norwegian attorneys) and I assist Americans when they have legal issues in Norway - in particular in cases of child visitation and custody between mixed-nationality parents when one parent is Norwegian and one parent is an American citizen not living in Norway.

My legal career now spans 26 years. I have been an environmental law hearing officer and a public services administrative law judge. My legal work in Norway began 22 years ago and has involved the following:

General Research & Advice

-Information concerning many U.S. legal institutions and legal subject areas

-Information concerning many international legal organizations, standards, rules and regulations

-Specific information on International Human Rights obligations and treaty rights and duties.

American Tax Return Services

-Personal Income Tax Forms: I am qualified and recognized by the IRS as a personal income tax return preparer. I hold an active PTIN number, which is required. I also participate in continuing legal and continuing tax education to maintain my current qualifications.

-I prepare U.S. personal income tax forms for Americans overseas, filing with the Internal Revenue Service in the U.S..

-I offer personal income tax advise and consultations to Americans overseas as to their related duties and responsibilities.

-I work with the IRS in cases of conflict, file amended returns and perform research and follow-up services as needed.

-Notes: (1) I do NOT provide FBAR-reporting/consulting services: Americans overseas can consult with the IRS directly. Reporting is done by individuals online directly. (2) I do not advise on Norwegian tax documents or process.

Personal Legal Representation and Business Consultation

--Referrals & Affiliations: Coordinating with local attorney services in the 50 United States to provide clients with in-state U.S. legal services

-Arbitration & Mediation: Advising you on mediation and conducting mediation sessions for you or your clients

Notarial & Document Services

-Referrals for U.S. will and health care directives

Note: I am NOT a U.S. notary public. If a U.S. document requires notarial services, contact a notary public in the U.S. state involved or the American Embassy in your country of official residence.
