Whether you\u2019ve just hatched the idea to spend your golden years overseas or are a seasoned expat, it\u2019s important to understand that even\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/filing\/the-u-s-expats-guide-to-state-taxes-while-living-abroad\/\">expats pay U.S. taxes<\/a>\u00a0when retiring abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you read that right\u2014if you are an expat enjoying retirement abroad, U.S. taxes may still be a reality. Regardless where in the world you live, you are still responsible for your U.S. tax obligations if you are still a U.S. citizen. The experts here at H&amp;R Block are here to help, so below we\u2019ve summarized the basics of what you should know about taxes in an expat retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ready to file?

Since leaving the U.S. makes it a bit more complicated, it\u2019s important to understand the basics of how different retirement vehicles are taxed in the U.S. Here\u2019s a (very) quick rundown:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Traditional\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/tax-center\/income\/retirement-income\/what-is-a-401k\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">401(k)s<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/income\/what-are-the-rules-on-iras-for-u-s-citizens-living-abroad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IRAs<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0Traditional\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/income\/401k-ira-withdrawals-overseas\/\">401(k)s and IRAs<\/a>\u00a0are the bread and butter of the average American\u2019s nest egg, favored for their ability to reduce taxable income. Contributions to your 401(k) are tax-deferred, meaning you\u2019ll pay taxes on withdrawals once it\u2019s matured. Contributions to Traditional IRAs are tax-deductible, and withdrawals are taxed as income.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/income\/what-are-the-rules-on-iras-for-u-s-citizens-living-abroad\/\">Roth IRAs<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0Roth IRAs aren\u2019t tax deductible, but once you\u2019ve had the account for five years withdrawals are tax-free.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/tax-center\/income\/retirement-income\/social-security-tax\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Social Security benefits<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0You may or may not have to pay taxes on Social Security benefits, depending on your provisional income ( to find your provisional income, you\u2019d take your modified adjusted gross income, add half of your Social Security benefits, and add your total tax-exempt interest). If your provisional income is:\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Less than $25,000 ($32,000 for joint filers), then your benefits will be tax-free<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Between $25,000 and $34,000 ($32,000 and $44,000 for joint filers), then up to 50% of your benefits are taxable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>More than $34,000 ($44,000 for joint filers), then up to 85% of your benefits are taxable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dividends:<\/strong>&nbsp;In general, you can assume dividends you receive are considered income and are taxed as income.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Annuities:<\/strong>&nbsp;Distributions from annuities you bought with post-tax money will likely have a part that\u2019s tax-free. In general, you can assume at least some income received from annuities is taxable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sales from stocks, mutual funds, and bonds:<\/strong>&nbsp;If you\u2019ve owned the asset longer than a year, gains from stock, fund, or bond sales are taxed at the current long-term capital gains rates. If they\u2019ve been held under a year, they\u2019re taxed as ordinary income.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s safe to assume that even if you\u2019re retiring abroad, taxes on retirement income will follow the same rules as retirement taxes stateside. However, there are a few major and important differences between taxes when you retire stateside vs. taxes when you retire abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below, we\u2019ll highlight some other major differences and things to consider about taxes when retiring abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-retiring-abroad-affects-your-401-k-or-ira-taxes\">How retiring abroad affects your 401(k) or IRA taxes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"650\" height=\"325\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/us-expat-retirement-abroad.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/us-expat-retirement-abroad.jpeg 650w, https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/us-expat-retirement-abroad-300x150.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Distributions from your 401(k) and pensions are still taxed as income, albeit they\u2019re treated as unearned income\u2014meaning you won\u2019t be able to claim them under the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/income\/foreign-earned-income-exclusion-for-u-s-expats\/\">Foreign Earned Income Exclusion<\/a>.

In the end, you may end up owing taxes on the transfers, getting hit with an early withdrawal penalty, and unintentionally walking away with a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/income\/pfics-foreign-mutual-fund-reporting-requirements-for-u-s-expats\/\">foreign mutual fund (PFIC)<\/a>\u00a0you now have to report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-expat-retirement-taxes-on-foreign-pensions\">Expat retirement taxes on foreign pensions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/income\/i-have-a-foreign-pension-plan-what-should-i-know-come-tax-season\/\">foreign pension<\/a>, it will most likely not qualify for the same retirement vehicle tax benefits as a U.S.-based 401(k) or IRA. Your contributions aren\u2019t typically tax-deductible on your U.S. income taxes, and you may actually be taxed on the plan\u2019s annual growth regardless if you\u2019re taking distributions or not. Additionally, employer contributions for foreign pension plans may also be considered taxable in contribution years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. does have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/filing\/how-u-s-tax-treaties-help-taxpayers\/\">tax treaties<\/a>\u00a0with specific countries that have special rules on foreign pension taxes. For example, if you\u2019re a U.S. citizen with a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/country\/united-kingdom\/u-k-pensions-for-u-s-expats\/\">foreign pension in the U.K.<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/country\/canada\/\">Canada<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/country\/germany\/\">Germany<\/a>, the Netherlands, or Belgium, you\u2019ve got a tax treaty that basically allows your foreign pension to be taxed the same as a U.S. retirement plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-other-retiring-abroad-tax-implications-to-consider\">Other retiring abroad tax implications to consider<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>What else should you know about taxes when retiring overseas? One is major thing expat retirees forget about is that if you receive income from a foreign retirement plan and pay foreign tax on that income, you may be eligible for U.S. tax credits. For example, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/filing\/foreign-tax-credit-limitations-rules-for-u-s-expats\/\">Foreign Tax Credit<\/a>\u00a0lets you claim those taxes paid dollar-for-dollar on your U.S. tax filing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another question we hear a lot is about spouses and Social Security when you live abroad. For example, if you have a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/filing\/married-to-a-nonresident-alien-spouse-these-are-your-u-s-tax-filing-options\/\">foreign spouse<\/a>, are they eligible for spousal and survivor Social Security benefits?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You\u2019ll be happy to know that yes, there are ways a foreign spouse may qualify to receive Social Security benefits.<\/strong>&nbsp;One way is if their country of residence has a tax treaty or bilateral social security agreement. Because the rules change from country to country, you should check the rules pertaining to your resident country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other things to consider?<\/strong>\u00a0You may have additional expat reporting requirements like your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/forms\/the-fbar-when-and-how-to-report-money-in-foreign-bank-accounts\/\">Foreign Bank Account Report (FBAR)<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrblock.com\/expat-tax-preparation\/resource-center\/tax-law-and-policy\/what-is-fatca\/\">FATCA<\/a>\u00a0Report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we\u2019ve covered the most common tax situations you might find yourself in when retiring abroad, there are millions of other situations expat retirees may find themselves in when it comes tax time.
