This week we answer a question from a listener who wants to know if they need to file a U.S. return, if they don’t expect to owe taxes. Morey suggests people shouldn’t assume they know the answer to any tax questions, because the tax code changes so rapidly. Morey and the entire Glazer Financial team have pledged to keep current on all tax changes to make tax planning as easy as possible for expatriates, whether they live inside or outside of the U.S.
