Due to popular demand there will be a second session of the Tax Workshop, also to be held at the Beijing American Center.   If you cannot make it to the February 23rd session, please register for this workshop on Thursday, March 22nd. 

Are you a U.S. citizen or U.S. taxpayer?  If so, you have an obligation to report your worldwide income to the IRS, whether you actually owe any tax or not.  Come to the workshop to learn about:

  • Foreign Earned Income Exclusion – who is eligible and how much can you exclude?
  • Foreign Tax Credit – can you take this in conjunction with the exclusion?
  • Who must file tax returns – how about a foreign spouse?
  • Foreign Bank Account Report (FBAR) – what is it and does it apply to me?

These topics, and much more, will be covered in the IRS workshop.   Don’t miss it!
