The American Way? U.S. Emigrants and Taxation part 2 - episode 198

Dec 4, 2022

32 min

Americans who live abroad are renouncing their United States citizenship in large numbers. What part does the current fairness or unfairness of the United States Tax code play in this? What do U. S. citizens need to consider regarding the renunciation of their citizenship? What are "accidental Americans" and how are they treated under the rules of taxation by the U.S. I talked with Keith Redmond and John Richardson to gain clarity on these issues, and I'm happy to share them with you!

Between Two Countries - episode 197 with my guest Sandra Lynn Gartner

Nov 27, 2022

1hr 10 min

When a person returns home from living abroad he or she often feels stuck between two countries. Adjusting to life at home can be more complex than adjusting to life abroad. I talk with Sandra Lynn Gartner as she shares her research, personal stories, and strategies to help understand and cope with reverse culture shock. Is it possible for employees, students, and all others who return from overseas along with their loved ones to turn a problematic period of repatriation into a beautiful time of growth and personal development?
Sandra Lynn Gartner is the author of her book Back From Abroad and the founder of Never Stop Learning

Taxing Americans Who Live Overseas: UNFAIR? - ep.194 with my guests Keith Redmond and John Richardson

Nov 7, 2022

38 min

This is part 1 of a conversation with Keith Redmond and John Richardson about the fairness or unfairness of the United States government's tax law which taxes Americans who live overseas. Many of these Americans have no assets in the United States, no residence in the United States, and live permanently overseas. Is it fair that these Americans must live under the U.S. tax code?
