Do you know your U.S. tax filing requirements?

U.S. citizens living abroad are required to file annual U.S. tax returns and report their worldwide income if they meet the minimum filing requirements. Do you know that, as an expatriate with a tax home in a foreign country, you may be eligible to exclude a portion of your foreign earned income from your U.S. taxes? Are you also aware that you may be able to deduct part of your qualifying housing cost and receive a credit for income taxes paid to a foreign government?

Now you know that you have to file taxes, but do you know the ins and out of filing U.S. taxes from abroad? Most expatriates do not. It’s complicated — as you can tell from the above rules — which is why you need assistance from a reputable firm like ours that specializes in American expatriate tax services.
