Income tax considerations for foreign nationals in the United States

Abstract

Whether you are investing in, or relocating to the United States, focusing on the tax considerations can save you a significant amount of money! The U.S. tax system is very broad and one of the most complex in the world. If navigated properly with a skilled tax advisor, benefits will be found that fit your business and personal goals. Tax planning to prepare an international assignee or investor for their financial decisions in the United States should be made before boarding the plane or soon after arrival. Below is a brief introduction to U.S. tax concepts and a summary of the income tax and financial planning considerations for foreign nationals. The discussion is meant to be an overview and professional tax advice should be obtained as there are various underlying exceptions and requirements related to most tax issues.
