Jet Setting Wealth Advisory

Show Notes

Living, working, or investing abroad and unsure what the IRS still expects from you?

On this week's Jet Setting Wealth Advisory, David T. Yu speaks with Vincenzo Villamena, CPA, Founder and CEO of Online Taxman, for the first of a two-part conversation on U.S. tax planning for Americans abroad. Drawing on his experience as an expat and international tax advisor, Vincenzo explains why U.S. citizens and green card holders still have filing obligations regardless of where they live, along with the opportunities available to qualified taxpayers. From foreign earned income exclusions and state tax residency to foreign asset reporting and international business structures, this episode helps Americans abroad plan before they move, invest, or expand internationally.

Key Takeaways:

→ U.S. citizens and green card holders still have U.S. tax filing obligations while abroad → Qualified Americans living overseas may benefit from the foreign earned income exclusion → Leaving a high-tax state requires careful residency and domicile planning → Foreign bank accounts, entities, and financial assets may trigger additional reporting requirements → Retirees, digital nomads, and entrepreneurs should coordinate U.S. and local tax rules before making a move
