Do I have to file in the US if I live abroad and file a tax return here?
In most cases you need to file in the US as well. The United States is the only developed country that requires tax returns based on citizenship rather than residence. This means regardless of where you reside you must file a US tax return as well. Often no taxes are owed to the US due to taxes paid in the country of residence that can be credited. Its important to choose the right credits when filing. Read more

What is an FBAR? When do I have to file an FBAR report?
A FBAR, also known as FinCEN Form 114, is a Report of Foreign Bank and Financial Accounts. This form is used to report a financial interest in a foreign financial account or signature authority over a foreign financial account. If the total value of the foreign financial accounts exceeds $10,000 at any time during the calendar year, it must be filed. The FBAR must be filed electronically through the website of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), and it is due on the same day as your individual income tax return, including extensions (latest October 15th).

What is the 30% ruling?
The Dutch 30% ruling is a tax advantage for highly skilled migrants working in the Netherlands, allowing 30% of their salary to be tax-free. Recent changes reduced its duration from 8 to 5 years, impacting eligibility and benefits for expatriates.
Am I eligible for the streamlined procedure?
- Eligibility criteria for the streamlined procedures:
- Taxpayers must certify that conduct was not willful.
- IRS has not initiated a civil examination of taxpayer’s returns for any taxable year.
- Taxpayers who want to participate in the streamlined procedures need a valid Taxpayer Identification Number.
- The individual was physically outside the United States for at least 330 full days.
Will my tax return be e-filed?
Expats Overseas electronically submits both US and local returns to the appropriate authorities when possible. The IRS also encourages Americans to file their returns electronically as much as possible so that processing can be completed quickly and efficiently. This way, any refunds can be determined and issued quickly.
