FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Yes, if you are claiming a tax home in another country, that country has the right to tax worldwide income. You may be entitled to tax credits and exclusions based on your situation. Usually, you will not get double taxed. The tax treaties are in place to account for this.

  • Yes, but only if they consider the income in both countries. You cannot file returns in a vacuum reporting only US income to the US and vice versa. We prefer to do both to ensure accuracy. Our fee includes doing both because we still must do the work even if we do not submit the return. So why pay TravelTax and someone else to do the same work? 🙂

  • Yes, though the treaty will decide functional residency for tax purposes.
