The top 5 most important points Americans abroad need to know about US taxes:

  • June 15: The deadline for expats to file US taxes, which comes from the automated 2-month extension date the IRS grants to expats. You’re only eligible to file US taxes if you reach the filing thresholds
    .
  • Can’t file by the June deadline? File a free extension through MyExpatTaxes software before June 15.  Expats then have time to file their US taxes by October 15.
    .
  • Keep a good eye on your bank statements! If you have had $10,000 or more total in all foreign financial accounts at any one time during the year, you need to file an FBAR. The FBAR is due October 15 and you can file it easily through our software.
    .
  • If you haven’t filed US taxes in a long time: You can use the Streamlined Procedure, a tax amnesty program to make up missed years of tax returns, penalty-free.
    .
  • Most expats don’t have to pay US taxes: But if they do, they need to pay by April 15.
