THE TRAVELING EXPAT 'S GUIDE TO L IV ING ,

WORKING , AND STAYING TAX COMPLIANT ABROAD

"Olivier makes the difficult business of filing US Taxes simple to

understand."

Dan Andrews, Tropical MBA

"U.S. Taxes For Worldly Americans is an excellent book which makes a

complicated subject understandable. As an expat myself I really appreciate

the value offered: Even renouncing citizenship is covered in depth!"

Eric Z, zbooks.co

"Olivier Wagner's book is an exceptional U.S. tax guide for Americans

abroad, which contains just enough information so that you CAN

'understand your tax requirements', but not so much information that you

'CAN'T understand your tax requirements'."

John Richardson, CitizenshipSolutions.ca

You might be an American Expat, or an "accidental American”,

and aren’t sure how this affects your filing requirements. Have

you established residency in another country? Do you still

derive income from the US? Or in another country?

You could be a self-employed “digital nomad” who works from

several different countries. You could be missing out on

opportunities to legally reduce your tax burden. Or worse, you

could end up with your own government revoking your

passport.

The U.S. is one of only two countries in the world that taxes no matter where

you live or work. If you make more than $10,350 per year (as of 2016), you

must file a return each year no matter what. This can be especially

problematic if you have not filed in a long time.

Maybe you have been told that you don’t owe any U.S. taxes on money

made overseas. This is only true if you know how to take advantage of the

proper avenues, such as the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) and

Foreign Tax Credit (FTC). By combining the right tests and exemptions, it is

possible for most people who live or work abroad to legally keep their taxes

at $0.

How many days do you spend abroad each year? Do you have residency, bank

accounts, or corporations in another jurisdiction How much money do you

make as an individual or company? All of these factors make a difference for

how much you owe. If you don’t understand your options, you may overpay or

be tax non-compliant.

The purpose of U.S. Taxes For Worldly Americans is not to scare you into taking

action. It is to empower you to take control of your unique tax situation as an

expat or traveler and bring you one step closer to getting the freedom you

desire. You can even acquire new citizenships in other countries and legally

renounce your U.S. citizenship to be free of the IRS forever.
