If you're planning a move abroad, or you're already an expatriate, you have more to think about than adjusting to a new culture. Although it may be tempting, you must not ignore your U.S. taxes. Every U.S. citizen - regardless of whether they are living in the U.S. - must file a tax return with the federal government.
The tax situation for expatriates is often complicated and frustrating. Many variables affect how much expatriates pay Uncle Sam - from whether you deduct your foreign taxes, to your host country, to your employment situation.
Fortunately, we can help.
To ensure a smooth tax-filing process, you must be well informed. If you take up residence in a foreign country without exploring the tax ramifications, you may find yourself paying more than you expect to the U.S. government or your home state - as well as penalties and interest.
You may be able to deduct a substantial amount in foreign earned foreign income from your U.S. taxable income and reduce your U.S. taxes.
