A legislative effort by Senator George McGovern required the President to conduct a thorough study of laws governing U.S. citizens abroad. This report by President Jimmy Carter was the first under that law --a painstaking review of the many legal provisions affecting U.S. citizens residing abroad. Issues include loss of citizenship by children born abroad, income tax, social security, veterans benefits, and many other matters --and very little has changed since the report was written, so this is still a valuable legal guide for any American taking up foreign employment or residence.

Are you a citizen of the United States who lives abroad? You probably know that the U.S.A. is one of only two countries that applies citizenship based taxation in order to tax its own citizens on their worldwide income, irrespective of where they live or work anywhere in the world. If you're thinking about becoming a digital nomad or expatriating to another country, do you know how to avoid having to pay tax on your income while abroad? There could be huge penalties or tax evasion charges if you don't file correctly. Fortunately, these important questions have answers. By combining the right strategies for citizenship, residency, banking, incorporation, and physical presence in other countries, most people who work overseas can legally lower their U.S. tax owing to $0.
