In this episode of Wealth Uncensored, we dive into the critical topic of tax compliance for people looking to expatriate. I discuss why being tax compliant is essential before expatriating to avoid becoming a “covered expatriate” subject to the exit tax, and why it’s important even if you will be a covered expatriate for other reasons. Learn how non-compliance can impact your US heirs and recipients of gifts, making them liable for estate or gift taxes at the highest rates.
With over 15 years of experience helping client’s expatriate, I reveal why many tax returns aren’t 100% correct and how this often stems from tax preparers lacking true international tax expertise. I share my top advice on hiring a competent, albeit costly, international tax preparer to ensure your compliance and protect your wealth for the long run.
Tune in to learn how to correctly navigate expatriation, avoid costly mistakes, and secure a seamless expatriation process that safeguards your legacy and wealth.
