More Expats as the World Gets Smaller

March 12, 2018

 

Globalization is defined as “the process by which businesses or other organizations develop international influence or start operating on an international scale.” Globalization has made the borders between countries virtually disappear, causing the world to feel like a much smaller place. This undoubtedly has contributed to a rise in workers choosing to move abroad and become expatriates.

The vast increase in expatriates, however, hasn’t led to it being any easier to become an expat. In addition to the typical demands placed on you as you plan to relocate to a foreign country, there is a host of challenging decisions to make and financial responsibilities.

United States tax laws have long been a burden on American expats. For this reason, Expatriate Tax Returns was launched. Our team of CPAs recognized that focusing on expatriate tax returns was necessary as this had quickly become its own field of accounting. Expat taxes are confusing and preparing them is a frustration that expatriates do not want to have to burden amidst the many other challenges facing them as expatriates.

With the growth of globalization has come the surge in technological advances. While this technological innovation has made so many things easier (like finding our company on the web!), it hasn’t caused expatriate tax return filing to be any easier or less of a hassle. Americans living abroad must file their United States tax returns in an exacting way and this can be terribly complicated (especially for a new American expat). To make this process easier and to save you precious time, the tax experts at Expatriate Tax Returns are here to handle that responsibility on your behalf.

Contact our team of expat CPAs today and then you can trust us to take care of everything. Simply fill out the form on our homepage or call us at 877-382-9123 and we’ll get the process started for you. We have your best interests in mind. The world may be getting smaller and becoming an expat may be more common, but expatriate tax returns will always be a reality.

The Big Move Means Big Decisions

February 13, 2018

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.

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.

No matter where you are in the process of your preparation for becoming an expat, call us for trusted, professional assistance. There are some many wonderful advantages to being an expatriate, but it’s also a time full of important decisions to make. 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.

Challenges Are Good… Sometimes

June 7, 2017

Ask any business consultant or personal coach and they’ll tell you that it’s important to take risks and meet challenges head on. In fact, most people asked about their New Year’s resolutions (lose weight or quit smoking) or summer plans (hike a mountain or run a marathon) will include challenges that they hope to overcome.

As an expatriate, you have already accomplished a challenge that many others will never even attempt. You have relocated from your home and adapted to a new country. That’s very impressive and commendable.

Expatriate Tax Returns

At Expatriate Tax Returns, we also think it’s important to take on challenges and emerge successful. However, when it comes to preparing and filing expat taxes, we think that’s a challenge you just don’t need. The IRS has made tax returns for American expatriates very difficult and quite challenging. Rather than trying to take on this headache, why not let the tax professionals at Expatriate Tax Returns handle this hassle for you?

So, continue to make lofty resolutions and set the bar high for your summer plans. Let us take care of this one challenge you don’t need to worry about. The anxiety just isn’t worth it.

Call us today at (877) 382-9123 or fill out the easy form on our website at www.expatriatetaxreturns.com.

The Reverse of Ellis Island: U.S. Hikes Fee To Renounce Citizenship By 422%

October 3, 2014

Did you know that back in 2013 there was a 221% increase in the fee to renounce your American citizenship? That was only a year ago. Now, the U.S. State Department has just raised the fee for renunciation of U.S. citizenship to $2,350 from $450. The State Department says its reason for doing this has to do with demand on their services and all of the extra workload they have to process people who are emigrating. Over the course of the last two years, the U.S. has seen a spike in expatriations. 
fatca help
Part of the reason for this has to do with global tax reporting and FATCA. The presence or absence of tax motivation is no longer relevant, but that could change. AfterFacebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin departed for Singapore, Senators Chuck Schumer and Bob Casey introduced a bill to double the exit tax to 30% for anyone leaving the U.S. for tax reasons. That hasn’t happened, but taxes are still a big issue for many. In order to leave America, a citizen must generally prove 5 years of U.S. tax compliance. If you have a net worth greater than $2 million or average annual net income tax for the 5 previous years of $157,000 or more for 2014 (tax, not income), you pay an exit tax. Long-term residents giving up a Green Card can be required to pay the tax too.
In an article in Forbes.com, explains that a decision to expatriate from the United States “should never be taken lightly. Taxes or not, it can be a big step. And around the world, more people are talking about taking it.”
