The U.S. Presidential election is underway and some U.S. expats are wondering if their vote from abroad will affect their tax status. Voting is a U.S. citizen’s constitutional right and is not conditional on having filed or paid income taxes, so it will not increase your federal or state income tax liability.

Expat Voting in the 2020 Election
Expats have a voice in U.S. policy, and the best way to express your opinion is by voting. A record-breaking over 5 million expats are expected to vote this year, and their votes could have a significant impact on the 2020 election. The most pressing topics for expats when choosing a candidate this year are taxes and COVID-19 response. Traditionally expats have had a meager voter turnout at less than 10%, but this year it is expected to be over 75%.
