In this episode, Derek sits down with Nathalie Goldstein, CEO of MyExpatTaxes and an IRS Enrolled Agent, to break down everything Americans living abroad need to know about filing their U.S. taxes. Whether you’re in Denmark or anywhere else in the world, Uncle Sam still wants his cut—and ignoring it isn’t an option.

If you’re an American in Denmark, this episode is a must-listen – because taxes don’t stop at the border.

You’ll find out why you actually have to file your taxes from abroad if you’re a U.S. citizen and why the U.S. tracks your Danish bank accounts. You’ll learn how to avoid paying taxes in both Denmark and the U.S. – there’s no reason to pay twice!

You’ll learn what happens if you don’t pay, and why a record number of U.S. citizens living abroad are renouncing their citizenship along with the tax consequences of that decision.

You can listen to the episode also on Apple Podcast, YouTube, and Acast.
