Expats are not exempt from U.S. Tax Returns

Expats are not exempt from U.S. tax returns!

Living overseas does not exempt U.S. citizens from filing and/or paying taxes in the United States. Even if you pay taxes in your host country, you still need to file a tax return in the United States. Whether or not you will owe taxes, is something that your tax professional can help you figure out.

Many expats are confused on their tax filing obligations since they are no longer living or earning money in the U.S. Many find that they are behind in filing and wonder, “what do I do now?!”

At expatriatetaxreturns.com, we are able and willing to help you sort out your federal and state tax obligations.
