Are you an individual living outside of your native country? Congratulations! You’re an expatriate (expat for short). Whether you are a U.S. citizen living and working abroad, or from a foreign country moving to the U.S., being an expat can create complex tax situations that often require professional assistance.
Being a U.S. Person (most commonly a U.S. citizen or green card holder) living abroad presents many potentially tax filing situations. Often times the expat taxpayer is unaware of these filing requirements, which can lead to even more complexity in the reporting required to the IRS.
Have you moved to the U.S. for work or family? If so your first year of filing may be complex. Additionally you may have filing requirements for assets you left in your native country.
