All about doing your taxes in Germany

Did you miss the U.S. tax deadline? Have you fallen behind on filing your U.S. tax returns while living abroad? You’re definitely not the only one.

Many Americans move abroad for work, love, adventure, retirement, or a fresh start. Life overseas can be exciting, rewarding, and full of new opportunities, but U.S. taxes have a way of following you wherever you go. Unlike most countries, the United States taxes its citizens based on nationality, not just residency. That means that even if you live outside the U.S., you may still need to file a U.S. tax return and report certain foreign accounts, income, assets, or business interests to the IRS and U.S. government.

The good news? If you missed the deadline, forgot to file, or haven’t filed for several years, there are ways to catch up and get back into compliance. And in many cases, Americans abroad can use exclusions, credits, and special IRS procedures to reduce or even eliminate double taxation.

In this webinar, we’ll walk you through what to do if you’re behind on your U.S. taxes, whether you missed this year’s deadline or need to catch up on previous years. We’ll explain the basics, highlight common expat tax issues, and show you how to move forward as smoothly and painlessly as possible.

We’ll discuss:

• Who needs to file U.S. income tax from abroad
• What to do if you missed the tax deadline
• How to file your U.S. income tax Federal & State Tax Returns
• Understanding the basic requirements
• How to catch up on current and previous year tax returns
• Common U.S. tax considerations for Americans abroad
• How to avoid double taxation
• Foreign Earned Income Exclusion and Foreign Tax Credits
• FBAR and foreign account reporting requirements
• The Streamlined Filing Compliance Procedures for those who haven’t filed
• Common mistakes to avoid
• Practical tips and tricks for making the process easier
• Q&A

The long arm of Uncle Sam and the IRS is not something to ignore, but catching up doesn’t have to be scary. The most important step is getting informed, understanding your options, and taking action before a small issue becomes a bigger one.

Join us for this practical webinar and learn how to catch up on your U.S. taxes from abroad, get back on track, and move forward with more confidence.
