U.S. Tax Planning for Americans Living, Working, and Investing Abroad

U.S. citizens and residents are taxed on their worldwide income, regardless of where they live. American individuals living abroad — whether in Spain, France, Latin America, or elsewhere — face significant U.S. tax reporting obligations and planning opportunities, including PFIC exposure from foreign investment vehicles, Net Investment Income Tax, and dual-filing compliance. We help U.S. persons structure their global affairs in a tax-efficient and fully compliant manner.

  • Tax planning for U.S. citizens and residents living or working abroad

  • Investment portfolio structuring for U.S. citizens abroad — avoiding PFIC classification and managing Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT)

  • Structuring of foreign business interests — Subpart F, GILTI, PFIC, and CFC analysis

  • Permanent establishment risk analysis for U.S. citizens operating U.S. businesses from abroad

  • Compensation and entity structuring for U.S. business owners relocating to foreign jurisdictions

  • Foreign tax credit planning and optimization

  • U.S. tax treaty analysis and treaty position planning

  • Planning for U.S. persons with interests in foreign trusts, estates, and partnerships
