Filing US Taxes is a Pain -Taxes for Expats Will Ease Your Burden

Filing US Taxes is a Pain -Taxes for Expats Will Ease Your Burden

Yes, if you structure your financial life properly you can get an exemption for earnings abroad, up to $102,100 for an individual in 2017. But you still have to file with the IRS every year, and you have to submit special forms to get your foreign … [Read more...]

How Filing my Expat Taxes Changed from a Nightmare to a Dream

This year, for the first time in a couple of decades, I hired someone to prepare my tax return. I've done it myself for years, using TurboTax. This year, though, it got out of hand.

I talked with Eden recently, via Skype, about their nomadic lifestyle. The Downsize Their adventures started in 2012, when they sold the ice cream shop.

Readers Ask: How do you find a Rental Home in Las Tablas, Panama?

Readers Ask: How do you find a Rental Home in Las Tablas, Panama?

One of the questions I'm seeing most often these days has to do with finding a place to live in Panama -- specifically in Las Tablas. We've had the pleasure of meeting several couples recently who are thinking of moving to Las Tablas, but finding a place to live here seems like a daunting task. Here's a fairly typical email: We are very excited to come to Las Tablas to look for our future … [Read more...]

Adventures in International Real Estate Closings

Adventures in International Real Estate Closings

It's been a busy couple of weeks for Future Expat. When we came to Las Tablas, Panama, we had sold all our household goods. Because the real estate market was still terrible, we opted to rent out our Florida house. A year later, the market had picked up and it seemed like a good time to sell. So we put the house on the market and within 10 days we had multiple offers. We accepted the one … [Read more...]

Pensions, British Expats and QROPS

Pensions, British Expats and QROPS

Guest Post by Mike Foster After the recent article for US taxpayers, I thought it was only fair to include some financial information for UK expats. Expats dream of enjoying their time abroad, whether it's a short work assignment or a long-term move to retire. I often refer back to my first move, Tokyo Japan. First I sorted out my flights to get there, accommodation and even started to go … [Read more...]
