Where Does the IRS Target Expats?

The United States vigorously pursues taxes worldwide and a common mistake many Expats make is assuming their US tax obligations disappear once they move overseas. In fact the US maintains tax treaties with over 66 countries which exchange tax information with the IRS. The US spends over 5 billion dollars a year in the auditing, discovery, collections and prosecution of US citizens living or working abroad. All of this work yields more than 55 billion dollars in additional tax revenue for the IRS.

With the help of an experienced CPA you can lower your tax, minimize or eliminate certain interest and penalties, and avoid tax liens and levies by acting now. Don’t wait! The IRS dedicates significant resources to collect taxes in the following countries. A full list can be found here.

Mexico

The tax system in Mexico changed dramatically in 2014 increasing your maximum tax rate as an individual to as much as 35 percent. Your personal deduction allowances also changed along with stepped-up enforcement of foreign account disclosures to the US Treasury. These requirements sound daunting, but you have help. Let’s go over the new tax rules together.

Canada

Canadian residents with US filing requirements often run afoul of the IRS when preparing a US tax return thanks to Canadian registered retirement plans. If you have a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) or a Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF), I need to speak with you about navigating the intricate reporting requirements to satisfy the demands of Canada as well as US tax authorities.

United Kingdom

An existing tax treaty between the United States and the United Kingdom influences your US tax return in nearly all facets, including your income reporting and retirement plans. Unraveling the complexities of these co-mingled tax systems requires the services of an experienced CPA. I have experience in dealing with these tax matters proactively or after the fact.

Germany

All US persons must report worldwide income to the IRS. Even if you are residing or working in Germany, you will still have to file certain tax forms or risk civil penalties and even criminal prosecution.

Australia

Australia is an attractive and popular destination for many American travelers, businesses, and investors. However, it is critically important for US expatriates to comply with the US tax code. Certified Public Accountant Ted Kleinman can help.

Israel

France

Certified Public Accountant Ted Kleinman has more than 30 years of experience specializing in international tax matters. Ted can help bring you up to date with unfiled tax returns, walk you through FBAR reporting requirements, help you navigate the streamlined procedure, and keep you compliant with all applicable US taxes for expats in France.

Japan

If you’re a US expatriate residing in Japan, or if you’re planning on expatriating in the near future, it is critically important to ensure your compliance with the Internal Revenue Code.

South Korea

If you’re considering becoming a US Expat in South Korea, you should consult with an experienced CPA before you move. Expatriates and US citizens abroad are subject to the some of the world’s most complex tax liabilities and reporting requirements, and even innocent mistakes can have lasting financial and legal ramifications for noncompliant taxpayers.

Italy

Spain

Philippines

United Arab Emirates

Switzerland

Workers as well as retirees with Swiss bank accounts, including retirement funds, may have unique US tax reporting due to recent changes in disclosures led by the IRS. Due to the complex nature of Swiss Social Security and its various branches, successfully meeting all domestic and international requirements for tax filings is difficult without an experienced CPA working with you. US taxpayers working or retired in Switzerland with Swiss bank accounts and retirement funds may have unique US tax reporting tax and disclosure requirements. Due to the complex nature of the Swiss tax and retirement system, successfully meeting all US and international requirements for tax filings is difficult without an experienced CPA working with you.
