So, to begin with, I am no tax expert. Nor am I a tax conslutant. Yes, I have worked overseas. But, fortunately, I am married to a woman who is very good when it comes to research, numbers, and accounting.
If you are an expat, working overseas, or you are considering such a move, you owe it to yourself to seek professional tax advice and consultation. If you are not familiar with the exlusoinary rule, and the tax laws pertaining to Americans working OCONUS then you are ripe getting schwacked with, potentially, huge tax assessments.
So, where do you go? Where do you start? How do you get the help you need? You can start by conducting an in-depth research into the tax laws yourself by visiting the official United States IRS website at [ https://www.irs.gov/ ]. Beyond that, there are numerous resources you can turn to. A few of them include United States military veterans whose new profession is in the tax and accounting industries. One of those is Christopher Krolik of the Krolik Pacific Group. He can be found at Facebook and LinkedIn. He can be reached directly at: (702) 964-1548.

Again, while not an exhaustive listing, certainly these are good places to start your search into your tax preparation as an American expat working overseas/
