You’re An Expatriate Not an Ex-Patriot

Once you made the decision to become an expatriate and travel outside of the United States for a job in another country, you likely received some odd comments from friends and family. No doubt, many of them assumed that you moving to London, Paris, Tel Aviv or Sydney for work meant that you were no longer going to be a U.S. citizen. Of course, nothing could be further from the truth.

Just because you’re an expatriate, doesn’t mean you’re an ex-patriot. American expats still enjoy all of the benefits of being an American citizen, you’re just living and working abroad. And let’s be honest, you’re really enjoying your experience as an expat too. The cultural enjoyment alone is enough to wonder why more Americans don’t pack their bags for a few years out of the country.

The one thing to remember when you’re an expat, however, is that the benefits of maintaining your citizenship mean you still have to file a tax return. The expat tax return filing is different than the annual tax returns you filed while living in the U.S. and that is important to remember. Expat taxes can be confusing and that’s why it’s best to leave it to the professionals at Expatriate Tax Returns. We’ve made it our specialty and passion to work exclusively with American expats. Our process is simple and we employ the latest technology to make your expat tax filing fast, efficient and reliable.
