Learning Objective

  • To explore how residents and non-residents are taxed on worldwide or American-sourced income, respectively.

  • To discover options for nonresident U.S. taxpayers, attendees will explore the foreign tax credit and foreign-earned income exclusion.
  • To know how citizens and domiciliaries face worldwide transfer taxes, while noncitizen non-domiciliaries encounter narrower American estate/gift taxes with limited exclusions.
  • To review how these treaties, modify statutory rules and provide relief for individuals deemed domiciled in both the United States and another jurisdiction.

Course Overview

Individual tax classification is a crucial aspect of the U.S. tax system, determining how individuals are taxed based on factors such as residency, citizenship, and domicile. This intricate classification process impacts an individual's obligations and liabilities, shaping the scope of their tax responsibilities.

In this course we will skillfully navigate the fine lines between income tax and transfer tax designations, underscoring their profound implications on tax responsibilities linked to an individual's residency, citizenship, and domicile. Attendees are not just informed but actively engage with the criteria shaping U.S. taxpayer status, unraveling complexities related to citizenship, residency, and exemptions tailored for specific groups. Special avenues for nonresident U.S. taxpayers, notably the foreign tax credits and the foreign earned income exclusion, are expertly demystified, providing a clear understanding of tools to ease the tax impact on income earned abroad.

In this CE Tax course, we will cover transfer tax classification, the landscape of estate and gift taxes, carving out distinctions between citizens/domiciliaries and noncitizen nondomiciliaries, while laying bare the lifetime exclusions and constraints in play. Furthermore, the influence on residence domicile determinations and reclassifications adds a layer of insight, offering a holistic view of the interwoven threads within international tax regulations.

Major topics covered:

  • Tax Classification of Individuals for Income Tax Purposes
  • Use of Treaty-Tie Breaker and its Impact, including possible deemed "expatriation"
  • Mitigating the Income Tax by Foreign Tax Credit, Foreign Earned Income Exclusions (FEIE)
  • Green Card Holders and the Danger of Using FEIE
  • Taxpayer Classification for Transfer Taxes (Estate and Gift)
  • Impact of Estate and Gift Tax Treaties and Who Can Use Them

Join this CPE Course, and together we will delve into the intricate domain of expatriation, shedding light on the weighty consequences of relinquishing citizenship or green card status.

Best course I've completed at myCPE in some time. The rolling outline format for presentation of this demanding material was very effective. This is a difficult practice area, and particularly challenging for tax professionals that don't specialize in immigration or expats. I really appreciated the Madison's Hypothetical Fact pattern since I have had a client in a similar situation in the UK and currently have a family member in the UK. The course established a clear baseline of knowledge Virginia depth of background and experience. The treatment of expatriation and transfer tax classification was really an "attention grabber" that I haven't seen an update on previously. Virginia presented this complex topic is a manner that made it much easier to understand. A true subject matter expert. Well done!

Great webinar and great presenter. I definitely enjoyed the presentation. I would suggest that Virginia do a course on US workers working remote and their taxation both US and foreign. Thanks!
