FATCA & Reporting Retirement Income Outside The United States: Guide Released

Share this news:

Assets, an online resource for financial planning, has released a guide to retirement income, with a focus on wealth management for American citizens who are living in a different country.

-- The newly released guide covers a range of topics related to international income sources in the golden years, including the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), pensions, tax treaty residency issues, and foreign Social Security benefits.

With updated information for 2023, the new guide from Assets is designed to help people who are considering moving outside the United States in retirement - or who have already done so - learn more about some of the laws and regulations that may affect their financial strategies.

A recent report from Forbes shows that although an increasing number of Americans are choosing to move abroad when they finish their working years, the decision to relocate can affect a person’s financial status and deserves careful consideration from a wealth management perspective. The guide from Assets covers some of the most common factors that can affect income reporting from a different country. “Retirement is supposed to be an exciting time in your life, as you enjoy the fruits of years of hard work and sacrifice,” says a company representative. “Unfortunately, the prospect can become complicated if you live abroad, which is why we aim to give you all you need to understand how reporting retirement income functions internationally.”

For those who may not be familiar with FATCA, the guide explains how the law works, including requirements for U.S. citizens to report any foreign financial assets that may exceed the set thresholds established by the IRS.

Readers will also get information about issues that can arise regarding tax treaties and residency in a particular country, as retirees will need to identify a tax residence so that they are able to take advantage of possible tax breaks, credits, or exemptions.

Additionally, the guide addresses foreign Social Security pensions, noting that these may be subject to double taxation if there is not a specific tax treaty provision for a certain country, and that such benefits must be declared and included on U.S. tax returns.

Investors who may be considering relocation after retirement will find an overview of U.S. reporting requirements for investments, along with procedures and a description of potential IRS penalties if requirements are not met.
