Review: ESSENTIAL reading for expats, and any American living (or spending lots of time) abroad. - This is an essential book for anyone planning to work, move, or retire abroad. For up-to-date and thorough tax information, this book FAR better than books like Getting Out: Your Guide to Leaving America (Process Self-reliance Series) . This isn't a "lite" read. It's a nuts-and-bolts, complete examination of EVERY aspect of tax options for expats, retirees, students, or anyone spending significant time outside the U.S. Since my husband and I are planning a move to the British Isles, I've been researching this topic, intensely. Nothing I've found comes even CLOSE to the insights in this book. For starters, I completely misunderstood which forms (and taxes) had to be filed in the U.S., regardless of where our income was earned. Also, I didn't understand how Social Security (etc.) taxes are handled, for Americans living abroad and paying taxes where they're living. This book clearly explained the fine points of U.S. taxes and related laws. Also, for those with long-term plans to live abroad, this book is a gold mine. For example, I didn't realize that we could travel -- and live abroad -- on a second, legal passport that might be somewhat expensive, but it could simplify our travel plans. In this book, a lengthy chart explains which countries offer this option, the approximate cost, and what -- if any -- residency requirements are involved. And no, they're not all "banana republics." You'll see countries like Canada and the U.K.on this list. Also, this book features the most complete list I've seen, explaining which countries offer citizenship based on your ancestry. (I knew about Ireland, but not about several others. I'll definitely check my family tree.) I can't imagine planning an international move -- for work, for college, or for retirement -- without this information. This is the ONLY book I've seen to cover this topic in depth. And, if you're already living in a country outside the U.S., and weren't 100% SURE you're meeting every tax requirement... this book will explain every possible option to save money (and avoid legal problems). Review: 5 Stars: Taxman - If you are like me an expat ( currently living in China) or you are planning to make a life outside of the United States load up your Kindle or pack some books of references and knowledge. You can start with a language book (Chinese is hard), a history book about the country you will relocate to, and avoid misleading information and getting into hardship with Uncle Sam by reading "U.S. Taxes for Worldly Americans: The Traveling Expat's Guide to Living, Working" by Olivier Wagner. You might think that you don't have to file taxes because you read it in some expat community blog full of misleading information but US tax laws are always changing. You can ask five different expats about what should you do with your taxes and get five different answers. Forget about contacting the US consulate in your host country they have strange hours. Oliver Wagner's book is straightforward, and to the point, his tax guide will help you understand what you need to do to have a piece of mind, most of us expats want to return one day to America without having the hassle of dealing with IRS. This book is currently updated for 2018, in fact, this book motivated me to file my taxes last night. Besides taxes, there is information for moving, living, and working aboard (always work legally). I think of Oliver's book as a tool to use when I have questions. Some expats want to start a business aboard or insanely renounce their citizenship there are chapters in this book covering such topics. I am glad I received this book to give an honest review I doubt that I will need to read another book about U.S. tax laws because "U.S. Taxes for Worldly Americans: The Traveling Expat's Guide to Living, Working" is well written, uncomplicated to grasp, and useful for future references. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #852,274 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #15 in International Taxes (Books) #18 in International Tax Law #35 in Business Travel Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 334 Reviews | ## Images ![U.S. Taxes For Worldly Americans: The Traveling Expat's Guide to Living, Working, and Staying Tax Compliant Abroad - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61CTAbTAk8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ESSENTIAL reading for expats, and any American living (or spending lots of time) abroad. *by A***. on March 3, 2017* This is an essential book for anyone planning to work, move, or retire abroad.

I imagine it would be especially instrumental to new expats, but to someone like me who has been abroad for 10 years, it didn't really cover much beyond my scope. The book's main title is a little bit more misleading than the subtitle as this book touches on many advices beyond just tax. ## Frequently Bought Together - U.S. Taxes For Worldly Americans: The Traveling Expat's Guide to Living, Working, and Staying Tax Compliant Abroad - Nomad Capitalist: Reclaim Your Freedom with Offshore Companies, Dual Citizenship, Foreign Banks, and Overseas Investments - Expat Secrets: How To Pay Zero Taxes, Live Overseas & Make Giant Piles of Money --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/40976947-u-s-taxes-for-worldly-americans-the-traveling-expats-guide](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/40976947-u-s-taxes-for-worldly-americans-the-traveling-expats-guide) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
