U.S. Expats: Foreign Property, FBAR & Rental Income (What the IRS Really Wants)

Описание: Schedule a consultation, and let’s get you IRS-ready. https://shrtlnk.co/DkOgp

Thinking about buying, renting, or selling property abroad as a U.S. expat?

Before you sign anything, you need to understand how U.S. taxes on foreign property actually work.

In this video, Randall from Tax Samaritan breaks down U.S. tax rules for American expats owning property overseas—in plain English. No legal jargon. No confusion. Just the rules the IRS expects you to follow.

Whether you live in Spain, Mexico, Thailand, the Philippines, or anywhere abroad, the U.S. still taxes you based on citizenship, not location. That means foreign homes, rental income, bank accounts, and even company structures can trigger IRS reporting requirements.

What You’ll Learn in This Video:

✔️ Does buying foreign property trigger U.S. tax?
✔️ When rental income from abroad must be reported
✔️ FBAR rules for foreign bank accounts ($10,000 threshold)
✔️ FATCA Form 8938 explained for expats
✔️ How Schedule E applies to foreign rental property
✔️ What expenses you can legally deduct
✔️ Why foreign property taxes usually aren’t deductible
✔️ How the Foreign Tax Credit prevents double taxation
✔️ Capital gains tax when selling property overseas
✔️ Extra IRS forms for foreign corporations, partnerships, or trusts
✔️ The most expensive tax mistakes expats make

🚨 Real Expat Story:
You’ll hear how one American living in Spain ignored FBAR and rental income rules—only to face penalties later. This happens far more often than people realize.

🏡 Foreign Property Shouldn’t Be a Tax Nightmare

With the right planning, most expats can stay compliant, reduce taxes, and avoid IRS penalties entirely. The key is knowing the rules before problems start.

Protect your income. Protect your foreign home.
Let’s make sure your life abroad stays stress-free.
