Navigating Tax and Citizenship Abroad

This chapter explores the perceived shortcomings of the U.S. tax system compared to more favorable environments in countries like Panama and El Salvador. It discusses ways for Americans to manage their tax liabilities while living abroad, including the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion and the complexities of acquiring second or ancestral citizenships. The importance of immersing in local culture and building community connections, both with expats and locals, is highlighted as a critical part of the relocation experience.
