Although the U.S. boasts an incredible and innovative economy, beautiful nature and robust opportunities, many Americans decide to live abroad. They can be in search of personal or professional growth, adventure, or to simply retire.
Experiencing a new culture is both exciting and engaging. For most countries, however, once you have left, you cease to become a tax resident and therefore pay no income tax. But, as a U.S. citizen, you are taxed based on your American nationality, not necessarily only where you live. Therefore, as an American living abroad, you must file income taxes and report certain items to the IRS and the U.S. Government.
In this webinar, we’ll walk you through what you need to do in order to comply with U.S. regulations, as well as some tips and tricks to do so efficiently and painlessly.
We’ll discuss:
- Who needs to file U.S. income tax
- Considerations for U.S. expats
- How to file your U.S. income tax Federal & State Tax Returns
- Understanding the basic regulations
- Avoiding double taxation
- Credits from the U.S. government
- Tax planning and tax efficient strategies
- Things to consider when owning Property or a Business in the United States
- Considerations for Digital Nomads
- Considerations for retirees
- The streamline procedure, for those who haven’t filed
- You’re first income tax filing
- Accidental Americans
- Tips & Tricks
Remember that the long arm of Uncle Sam and the IRS is not something which can be ignored, so it’s important to get informed, follow the rules and do everything correctly. In this webinar, we’ll help you with everything you need to know about filing your U.S. tax returns from abroad. So join us for a smooth tax experience!
