It collects information from the FAWCO membership on specific tax and banking related problems to bring these to the attention of legislators in Washington.
The Tax & Banking Committee develops lists of resources and advisors, and publishes periodic newsletters, presentations and videos, and updates and links to media articles and other resources for Overseas Americans and “US tax persons.” You can find more information on each category by clicking on the title below.
We encourage Overseas Americans to plan their international financial lives and maintain compliant status with US regulations.
Remember, overseas residents have until June 15 each year to file their US taxes. However if you owe taxes, to avoid late payment penalties, pay the taxes by April 15. Please refer to this link for more detailed information.
