According to MyExpatTaxes, one of the biggest misconceptions among Americans abroad is assuming they do not need to file a US tax return. In reality, all US citizens and Green Card holders must generally file if their income exceeds IRS filing thresholds, even when exclusions or credits can reduce their tax bill to zero. The report also highlights other common filing issues, including misunderstanding expat filing deadlines, failing to submit foreign account reporting forms, not claiming the most beneficial exclusions and credits, and overlooking state and self-employment tax obligations while living overseas. “Most Americans who move abroad are surprised by how complex expat tax rules are,” said Nathalie Goldstein, co-founder and CEO of MyExpatTaxes. “We created this report to help expats better understand their obligations, avoid penalties, and make better US tax filing decisions in 2026.” The report notes that penalties for missing international reporting forms can reach thousands of dollars, even when no tax is owed. With record numbers of Americans moving and living internationally, MyExpatTaxes says demand for expat tax guidance continues to grow. The company hopes the report will help taxpayers stay compliant while reducing stress this filing season. The full report, _Top 10 US Expat Tax Mistakes to Avoid This Filing Season_, is now available on the MyExpatTaxes website.
