👋 Welcome to r/ExpatTax – U.S. Taxes for Americans Abroad

Whether you’ve just moved overseas or are years into life abroad, U.S. taxes can get confusing fast — FEIE, FBAR, FATCA, PFICs… it’s a lot.

This subreddit is here to help. Ask questions, share advice, or just vent about IRS forms nobody warned you about.

✅ Post topics we welcome:

• “Do I need to file Form 8938 and FBAR?”
• “How do I qualify for FEIE in year 1?”
• “Can I deduct foreign social security?”

❌ What we avoid:

• Local tax issues unrelated to U.S. obligations
• Promotions or sales pitches
• Misinformation or tax evasion advice

Need quick guidance? Try searching past posts or ask your question with enough detail.
