Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I have to pay U.S. taxes if I live abroad? +
U.S. citizens and green card holders are required to report their worldwide income to the IRS, regardless of where they reside. This is due to the U.S. tax system's citizenship-based taxation.
What is the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE)? +
The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion allows U.S. expatriates to exclude a certain amount of their foreign earned income from U.S. taxation, reducing their taxable income.
How does the Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedure work? +
The Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedure enables U.S. expatriates who are behind on their tax filings to catch up without facing penalties, by filing the past three years' returns and two years' FBARs.
What is the difference between the Foreign Tax Credit and the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion? +
The Foreign Tax Credit allows expatriates to credit foreign taxes paid against their U.S. tax liability, while the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion lets them exclude a portion of foreign earned income from U.S. taxation.
How can I maintain or alter my state tax residency? +
Greenback’s expert team can guide you through the process of maintaining or altering your state tax residency by reviewing your domicile, time spent in the state, and other specific circumstances.
What should I do if my state tax return is flagged for review? +
If your state tax return is flagged for review, compile any necessary documents, respond to the state’s requests promptly, and consider professional help if you prefer a hands-off approach. Greenback can assist for $325.
