Online Tax Filing Services For The Smart Expat

1

• The Expatriate Tax Return rules of the U.S.
  government is unequivocal in the fact that all
  citizens of the U.S. have to file their tax
  returns, whether they are living in the United
  States of America or in a foreign nation.

• Any income that is generated wherever you are
  working in the world is subject to the income tax
  rules of the country just like if you were
  working in the country itself. There is no
  exception to this. Military personnel or those
  who are serving in military duty in a country
  outside of the U.S. are the only ones who have
  been given an extension of two months from the
  regular date of filing taxes without having to
  pay penalty. For all others, if they have to take
  an extension on the due date and have informed
  the authorities prior, a penalty has to be paid
  for the interest of the unpaid taxes during that
  period of time.
• Simplicity of Online Tax Filing Services
• Nowadays, online tax filing services have made
  life easier for expats. Preparing taxes by
  oneself is a challenging tax, and without
  sufficient information, it is easy to make
  mistakes and sometimes end up paying more than
  you need to pay. Since all money is hard earned
  and precious money, this can be easily avoided by
  taking the services of reputed and reliable tax
  return services experts such as CPAs or tax
  attorneys. These expat tax services help to save
  not just money but time also, so in the end there
  is absolutely no hassle for expats over filing of
  taxes anymore.

• Documentation Required for Online Tax Filing
  Services
• There are several documents that are required
  especially for expats filing U.S. taxes. This can
  seem to be a daunting list but with the help of
  the online tax filing services, this is easy to
  follow and implement. For example, all U.S.
  citizens living abroad need to file proof of
  residency for at least 330 days in a period of 12
  months to get the expatriate status. Some of the
  documents that support this proof could be
  residency ID cards or permits and even a travel
  calendar that shows your schedule of travel
  within that particular tax filing year.
• Benefits of Expat Tax Services
• There are several ways in which expat tax
  services benefit expats by saving them money.
  This is done by informing them of ways they can
  save money which they may not have been aware of.
  For example, expats can have significant savings
  in tax by deducting housing expenses in part. In
  order to prove this, it would be wise to keep a
  record of all the rents that have been paid to
  the landowner, as well as any utility bills
  (which does not include telephone bills), and any
  insurance expenses incurred during that
  particular year.
• Tax return services have made life easier for the
  expat so filing taxes can be faster, smoother,
  and definitely hassle-free when done online!
