Home Is Where the Heart Is (and where the IRS will try to find you): Thinking of Living Abroad? Even ExPats May Have to Pay U.S. Taxes

Unlike most countries in the world, if you are a citizen or resident of the United States, the government gets to tax all of your worldwide income, regardless of where it's earned or where you live. And if the IRS decides that your tax home is the US your family may get hit by an estate tax, even if you aren’t a citizen or resident. In this episode of "Splitting Heirs,” host Warren K. Racusin speaks with fellow partner Megan E. Wernke about international and cross-border tax planning, and the different obligations and documents required for individuals with assets or income in the U.S. but who are domiciled elsewhere; have renounced their U.S. citizenship completely; or who are considered non-resident aliens.
