Info Session 2021: US Taxes while Living Abroad
RSVPWorried or confused about what you need to do about your U.S. taxes? Wondering how the 2021 American Rescue Plan applies to you?
While tax support isn’t part of Democrats Abroad’s mission, it’s a common concern for our members that we want to help address. All U.S. citizens and permanent residents are subject to file US taxes for their worldwide income, even if they never lived in the USA and even if they hold dual citizenship.
Come to an online tax information session on Wednesday, May 19, 2021 at 7:30pm, to learn more about what you need to do as an American citizen or permanent resident living abroad. This event is co-hosted by the Berlin and Dusseldorf-Ruhr chapters of Democrats Abroad Germany.
(You MUST RSVP in advance. See details below)
Monique Luegger, EA from Americans’ Income Tax Service, will be presenting and fielding your questions.
Topics will include
- legal tax requirements
- German-American tax treaties (income, gift & estate, Totalization/Social Security)
- Foreign Earned Income Exclusion Form 2555 / Foreign Tax Credit Form 1116
- Overseas self-employment and US Social Security Tax
- FATCA & FBAR
July 15, 2021 is the deadline for all filers for the tax year 2020, and everyone must file!
**We ask that if you have questions or topics that you would like addressed, please submit using this form by Friday, May 14th. We will share your questions with our tax expert so she can include them in her presentation.
