You haven’t filed your U.S. Taxes in a while... maybe never since you’ve been abroad. What should you do? Let our tax experts offer some suggestions.
Most U.S. taxpayers must file tax returns and pay any taxes due by April 15 of the following calendar year. If you’re a U.S. citizen, this rule applies to you even if you’re an expat living and working in another country. However, if you’re an expat the rules for expat tax deadlines are a little different.
If you’re an expat, you might be able to exclude foreign earned income from U.S. tax up to $101,300 for 2016. This exclusion is available only for earned income and doesn’t apply to passive income.
New rules on financial reporting will affect expats. If you’re an expat who hasn’t been filing returns and FBARs, this could affect you.
