Americans living abroad still need to pay U.S. taxes, so if you are an oleh, it might be a good idea to find an American CPA in Israel. Why would an American CPA in Israel be better than hiring an American CPA who sits in America? Yosefa Huber, an American CPA in Israel answers this very question. She helps American citizens living in Israel stay compliant with U.S. tax laws. Yosefa explains why American citizens, even those living abroad, aren’t exempt from filing a U.S. tax return. She also debunks some of the misguided excuses from U.S. expats who think the American tax code doesn’t apply to those living overseas. (Note that I’m a financial advisor, not a tax advisor. Speak with a professional accountant for tax advice.)
