Expatriate Tax Preparation
There are a number of American Citizens living abroad and the number may grow in the future. American tax law is clear: those Americans living abroad are subject to taxation upon their world wide income; although, American tax law provides many benefits to American individual natural persons, and some corporations, residing abroad.
Remaining in compliance with US Tax law can be cumbersome from year to year as tax regulations are a complex area of the American jurisprudence. Various statutes, regulations, and possibly double tax treaties may come into play when discussing a given set of factual circumstances as some American expatriates have business interests in multiple jurisdictions.
Those Americans living abroad may be subject to different tax liability compared with those who reside in the United States for most of the American tax year. Those true American expatriates, specifically those residing outside of the United States of America for more than 330 days each year, may be permitted to claim exemption from taxes on some or all of their yearly income, failure to file one’s Federal tax return could preclude enjoyment of certain tax benefits at a later point in time while timely filing of tax returns may ensure enjoyment of all tax exemptions, deductions, and benefits.
The timely filing of a United States Federal Tax Return can be beneficial for those seeking United States Immigration benefits for their foreign fiancee or spouse. This is due to the fact that those Americans wishing to sponsor a foreign fiancee or spouse for a K1 visa or an Immigrant visa must submit either an I-134 or an I-864 affidavit of support. One of the best pieces of evidence in support of such affidavits is a Federal Tax Return as tax returns can be used to effectively assess the income of a sponsor over a given year. The form I-864 affidavit of support specifically asks for the petitioner’s income over the 3 years preceding the pending petition and application. Therefore, making a habit of filing US Tax returns can facilitate ensuring that there are fewer processing delays should a later visa application be filed on behalf of an American expatriate’s foreign spouse or fiancé.
An American attorney can provide assistance to Americans abroad by preparing and submitting an American expatriate’s tax returns. Retention of an American tax attorney abroad can be beneficial for those Americans with multi-jurisdictional holdings subject to different tax liabilities.
