This page is to identify ways in which U.S. tax laws may affect the taxation and very lives of Americans abroad. The issue is identified along with a link to a good discussion of the issue.
I thank in advance the authors of the posts that are used to explain the issues. Your work is appreciated. If you are a tax professional and have an article or blog post that you believe should be added to this list, please contact me.
Remember that the focus is on how U.S. tax laws specifically affect “U.S. persons abroad”.
