The Big Move Means Big Decisions for New Expats

Now is the time of year that many big corporations are discussing HR changes for the fall. If you’re involved in these discussions, you could soon be contemplating a big move overseas.

If you plan to move abroad this year, it will be an exciting and challenging time. There are many factors to consider like what your spouse will do overseas and where your kids will go to school. There are also a plethora of opportunities and experiences to look forward to as an American expatriate. After accepting a new job overseas or a job transfer to a country outside the United States, it’s important to create a long “To Do List” with critical items like finding a place to live, forwarding mail, and finding a physician in your new country. Selecting a trustworthy and dependable CPA firm with experience working with expats is also essential.

Expatriate Tax Returns has many years of tax planning and preparation experience specifically for expats. We put that knowledge to work for you — our clients. It’s critical to inform the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) that you are moving abroad and to call our accounting team to make sure you’re prepared before you make the big move.

 

American Expatriates Tax Returns

 

A few things to remember before you become an expat: update your contact information with the IRS so they can properly send your refund or any future correspondence. You can update your address with the IRS by completing Form 8822, Change of Address at any time during the year. Failure to notify the IRS of an address change can be costly. For example it can keep you from contesting a lien for unpaid taxes. At Expatriate Tax Returns, we understand that planning for the big move abroad is challenging and there are already so many things to think about. We can help you alleviate the stress by walking you through this journey hand-in-hand. We’ve helped thousands of U.S. expatriates successfully transition to their new country and we’ll help you too.

Here’s an easy one: Call ExpatriateTaxReturns.com today at 877-382-9123 or fill out the form on our Website. We’ll be with you every step of the way.

The World’s Flat, but Expatriate Taxes are Still a Reality

In the book “The World is Flat” by the award-winning New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, the author demystifies the brave new world for readers, allowing them to make sense of the often bewildering global scene unfolding before their eyes. He explains how globalization has made the borders between nations virtually disappear and make us feel as if the world is a much smaller place.

For the many expats who are currently living and working outside of the United States, you know this to be true. The world really does seem smaller thanks to the Internet and globalization. Decades ago if you moved away from the United States, you’d be lucky to arrange for a phone call back to the States once a week or so. Today, you can text and video chat with friends, family and colleagues across the globe at any time of the day with perfect reception.

With the advances in technology, it’s nothing to wire money or do any type of commerce between your current country and the U.S. Perhaps we take this for granted at times because it has become so easy to communicate back home. However, there is one thing that hasn’t changed over time. No matter how advanced our technology has become and much those virtual borders have disappeared, Americans living abroad still have to file their United States tax returns. Thankfully though, you’re not on your own. The tax experts at Expatriate Tax Returns are here to handle that responsibility on your behalf. So contact us today and let us take care of the rest. Simply fill out the form on our homepage and we’ll get the process started. We have YOUR best interests in mind.

Security: Letting the Pros Do Your Taxes

Security. That’s a word we hear often these days. In the post 9/11 world in which we live, security is a priority for us. We think of the security of our nation, the security of our homes, and the security of our family.

We install alarms and surveillance cameras in the name of security. On our computers we have passwords to protect our data and keep it secure. We buy health insurance and life insurance to keep us (and our loved ones) feeling secure. Entire professions focus on security — everyone from the security guard at the local mall, office building and sporting venue to the private bodyguard.

We even talk about security when we want to feel safe in our bed with the blanket wrapped snuggly around us.

There are ways that we can feel even more secure than we currently do. As children, that might have come from a tight, reassuring hug from a parent or a reminder that we’ll always be protected. As adults, however, we know that we’re not always secure. We’re not always secure in our choices when it comes to very important matters.

When you’re an American and you’re living in a foreign country, there are certainly times of uncertainty. Filing your U.S. tax returns shouldn’t be one of those uncertain times. Expatriate Tax Returns was founded for the purpose of helping expats feel secure when it came time to file their tax returns in the United States. Your tax filing is important business and you have a serious responsibility to comply with United States tax code for expatriates each year.

Putting that task in the skillful hands of the experts will leave you feeling secure. And that sense of security is a good feeling to have.
