This webinar is critical for any advisor who is having a client contemplating leaving the US tax system by either renouncing their US citizenship or relinquishing their US Green Card. Virginia’s depth of knowledge, experience and expertise as laid out in this presentation will quickly dispel the myth that this is a DIY or amateur job, especially for HNW Americans. The fiscal damage that can be done in overpaying tax upon departure or laying a significant future tax burden on US heirs will make the cost of proper advice seem like a rounding error.

The course contains pertinent, practical and actionable information and advice for filing FBARs. The instructor is among the best of all that I've seen on myCPE.com. Overall, an excellent course.

The content was wonderful and the presenter was clearly very knowledgeable. I wish we would have had more time for questions and answers as none of my questions were addressed due to time constraints. I also felt the polling question sections were very unnatural as far as cutting off the presenter in the middle of talking just to have a poll. It felt like she had no control over when the questions were asked.
