🏛️GET THE (FREE!) SAVVY NOMAD TAX GUIDE
If there’s one thing that sets U.S. expats and nomads apart, it’s that they all share a special uncle that loves traveling. We’re talking, of course, about Uncle Sam.
The U.S. tax system is unique in that it follows Americans abroad wherever they go. Filing from abroad is often confusing and time-consuming, and the rules aren’t always intuitive.
That’s why we put together a new traveling companion for 2026: our CPA-vetted tax guide. (Believe us, we think you’ll like this travel buddy a whole lot more.) Our free e-book contains over 40 pages of material on how to maximize your expat tax savings while staying compliant.
What You'll Learn in the Guide
The guide explains the core rules that matter most for expats: who must file, what income is taxable, and what benefits can reduce or eliminate your U.S. tax bill. It covers the major tools available to Americans overseas—including the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, the Foreign Tax Credit, and the Foreign Housing Deduction—and explains how each one works using real-world examples.
You’ll also find straightforward explanations of the forms most expats deal with, such as Form 2555, Form 1116, FBAR, and FATCA.
But the guide doesn’t stop there. It also addresses the practical issues that come with working internationally: tracking time outside the U.S., documenting foreign income, managing taxes across multiple countries, and understanding how self-employment works when you’re living overseas.
Save it, Read it
If you want a smoother filing process in 2025, set aside a moment before tax filing season to review the guide. It will give you a clearer picture of your obligations and options, helping you make smarter financial decisions throughout the year.

GETTING MARRIED ABROAD: WHAT EVERY EXPAT SHOULD KNOW
Love knows no borders. And unfortunately for U.S. expats, neither does the IRS.
Tax obligations, immigration paperwork, and state-level rules can all affect the financial future of U.S. citizens and residents who tie the knot overseas. Even if your spouse never sets foot in America, their foreign bank accounts and assets could potentially trigger reporting requirements for you.
Needless to say, there’s a lot to think about besides the wedding invitation list, but we did the heavy lifting for you. Check out our new video on navigating the less sexy aspects of foreign romance.
