“Expat taxes made simple” — it might sound too good to be true, but that’s exactly what my guest today has set out to do.

I’m joined by Nathalie Goldstein, founder and CEO of MyExpatTaxes, the leading tax software built specifically for Americans living abroad. Originally from California, Nathalie moved to Austria a decade ago, where her own frustrations with filing U.S. taxes as an expat inspired her to create a solution that now serves thousands of Americans worldwide.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why October 15th is the most important date on the expat tax calendar
  • How to avoid double taxation with tax treaties and credits
  • The must-know rules around FBAR and FATCA for foreign accounts
  • Common mistakes expats make with record keeping and residency
  • What to know if you’re freelancing abroad or planning to repatriate
  • How MyExpatTaxes takes the fear and complexity out of filing

Whether you’re just starting your move abroad or already living overseas, this conversation will help you understand your obligations, avoid costly mistakes, and feel more confident about your financial life as an expat.
