New Report from MyExpatTaxes Reveals Top Tax Mistakes US Expats Make
In this episode of Global Economic Press, Alex Brady discusses a new report from MyExpatTaxes that highlights the top tax mistakes made by United States expatriates. As the June 15th, 2026, United States expatriate tax filing deadline approaches, this report is essential for Americans living abroad to understand their tax obligations and avoid costly errors. The report is based on trends and issues encountered by the firm's tens of thousands of global American clients. One of the biggest misconceptions among Americans abroad is the assumption that they do not need to file a United States tax return. However, all United States citizens and Green Card holders must generally file if their income exceeds Internal Revenue Service filing thresholds, even when exclusions or credits can reduce their tax bill to zero. The report also highlights other common filing issues, such as misunderstanding expatriate filing deadlines, failing to submit foreign account reporting forms, not claiming the most beneficial exclusions and credits, and overlooking state and self-employment tax obligations while living overseas. Nathalie Goldstein, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of MyExpatTaxes, emphasizes the complexity of expatriate tax rules and the importance of understanding these obligations to avoid penalties. With a growing number of Americans moving and living internationally, the demand for expatriate tax guidance continues to rise. MyExpatTaxes hopes the report will help taxpayers stay compliant and reduce stress this filing season. The full report, "Top 10 United States Expatriate Tax Mistakes to Avoid This Filing Season," is now available on the MyExpatTaxes website.
