U.S. Expat Tax Return
U.S. citizens or U.S. Green card holders living and working abroad are often surprised to learn that they will continue to be liable for U.S. federal and, sometimes, state and local individual income taxes. U.S. citizens and resident aliens living abroad remain taxable on their worldwide income for federal income tax purposes. Many U.S. citizens and residents working abroad are also likely to be liable for tax in the foreign (host) tax jurisdiction. However, the U.S. tax system allows certain special exclusions and foreign tax credits that minimize the possibility of incurring a double-tax burden.
