U.S. Taxes for Expatriates – Pitfalls and Traps

To ensure a smooth tax-filing process, you must be well informed. If you take up residence in a foreign country without exploring the tax ramifications, you may find yourself paying more than you expect to the U.S. government or your home state – as well as penalties and interest.

Some of the important considerations include…

Whether you are self-employed.

You must pay self-employment tax on your income, even if you can exclude it as foreign earned income on your income taxes.

Amount of foreign earned income.

You can deduct a substantial amount in-earned foreign income from your U.S. taxes

Which state you most recently lived in.

Some states do not have income taxes; others make it difficult to sever your ties with that state. Depending on which state you most recently lived in, you may need to file a state return.

Your host country.

Many countries have tax treaties or conventions with theUnited States, which will dictate how you file your U.S. taxes.

Rental income and dividends/interest from assets in the U.S

Regardless of your location, these  are subject to taxation as if you were residing in the U.S

Your holdings in a foreign bank account.

Reporting any interest in or authority over a foreign financial account exceeding a certain threshold is mandatory and must be reported to the U.S. Treasury Department.
