The IRS Streamlined Procedure Living Abroad | File US Expat Taxes

[@ChelseaElizabethIZMIR]

In the video, it says to qualify for Streamline you “must have been physically outside the US for 330 days for one of the 3 years.” But from what I understood on the IRS website, it says you must be outside for 330 days EACH year. I’ve been living abroad since 2019, but visited the US for 6 weeks in 2021 and 3 weeks in 2023…would I still qualify for the Streamlined?

I have been living abroad for 8 years and I've been paying South Korean taxes. My friend mentioned yesterday that I need to file taxes for the U.S and I started FREAKING OUT. I had no idea. I'm hoping I can get this taken care of.

As you may or may not know, it's in the back of U.S. passports. Last page, 4th one down.

Can you clarify? What is in the back of U.S. Passports

[@MyExpatTaxes]

Hi Adgurl! We'll jump in here. There is a declaration in your passport that informs US citizens of their tax filing duty. You can see it here in the blog: www.myexpattaxes.com/expat-tax-tips/featured/21-things-to-know-about-us-expat-taxes-in-2021/

I have been using my married name for my employment and joint bank account but everything else is under my maiden name (passport, SSN, UK visa/ILR). Will this be an issue when filing?

[@MyExpatTaxes]

Hi there! The name must match the SSN on your tax return.

[@AriannaChallinor]

How would I do this from the UK and do you know how long it would take? Im trying to catch up with the streamlined process

[@MyExpatTaxes]

@@AriannaChallinor the best way would likely be through the American embassy/ consulate that is nearest to you.

[@MyExpatTaxes]

@@AriannaChallinor Oh, and for Streamlining specifically - it's perfectly fine to file your Streamlined returns under your maiden name, then request a new SSN with your updated name and file under your married name in future years.
