Us Citizen Moving Abroad Tax

Category: Security  ·  Sub-category: security-misc  ·  Last updated:
The US taxes citizens wherever they live. What that actually means when you move abroad: the FEIE vs Foreign Tax Credit decision, FBAR and FATCA reporting, the PFIC and foreign-company (GILTI/5471) traps, sticky states, Social Security and totalization, and — for those who go all the way — the §877A exit tax on renouncing. Sequenced by destination type: zero-tax (UAE/Gulf) vs high-tax (EU).

From the source SKILL.md

The fact every other country's movers don't face. The United States taxes its citizens and green-card holders on worldwide income no matter where they live. A Brit who leaves Britain stops filing British returns; an American who leaves America files Form 1040 for life. Moving abroad doesn't end your US tax life — it doubles it: a new country's system on top of the one you can't leave. Every planning question for this corridor is therefore really one question: how do the two systems interlock without taxing you twice — and which US traps get worse the moment you cross the border?
