FEIE or FTC?
It's one of the most important and misunderstood choices a US expat makes.

The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion can wipe out tax in low-tax countries. The Foreign Tax Credit usually wins in high-tax ones. And in some cases, combining them is the best.

Choose the wrong one and you could leave money on the table (or lock yourself out of FEIE for 5 years).

Selling your home abroad feels simple; until the US tax bill shows up.

The IRS taxes gains on worldwide property.
And here's the kicker: exchange-rate movements between buying and selling (and on your mortgage payoff) can create a taxable gain even when you didn't make a real profit.

Planning to sell? A little foresight saves a lot.

Didn't know US citizens have to file taxes from abroad?
You're in good company, and there's a clean way out.

The IRS Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedure lets non-willful expats catch up with 3 years of returns + 6 years of FBARs, and ZERO penalties if you qualify.

But it only works if you come forward BEFORE the IRS contacts you.

Renouncing US citizenship or handing back a green card isn't just paperwork — it's a tax event.

If you're a 'covered expatriate,' the IRS treats you as if you sold every asset you own the day before you leave. And simply letting a green card expire? That doesn't end your obligations.
The right planning — started early — can save a fortune. Considering your exit?

DM us 'EXIT' before you make a move.

Same PFIC. Three tax outcomes. The difference can be thousands of dollars. 💸
QEF, Mark-to-Market, or the dreaded default regime — the election you choose (and WHEN you choose it) shapes your tax bill for as long as you hold the fund.

Most elections must be made early, and a missed one is hard to undo. Not sure which applies to you?

DM us 'ELECTION' and we'll walk through it. 👇

Married to a non-US citizen? Your tax return has a fork in the road. 💍
You can file separately (often simpler) or elect to treat your foreign spouse as a US resident — which may unlock bigger deductions but drags THEIR worldwide income into the US net. Joint accounts can also pull them into FBAR/FATCA reporting.

The right choice depends entirely on your numbers. DM us 'SPOUSE' and we'll compare both paths. 👇
