SPEAKER: Kenneth Guilfoyle, CPA, BDO Tax Co.

HOSTING COMMITTEE: Taxation Committee

If you are an American living in Japan, it is no secret that you are tasked with filing a U.S. tax return. While this may be straightforward for individuals in the United States, living in Japan creates tax filing complexity. At the end of 2017, Congress passed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act—the impact of which is still unfolding. U.S. citizens living in Japan have many questions, including:

• What can I claim as a business deduction in the United States and Japan?

• How can I reduce my tax?

• I see an opportunity and want to start a business in Japan, how should I structure the business for tax purposes?

• How can I combine my income in Japan into my 1040?

Here is your chance to ask your questions about U.S. taxation. Please complete this brief survey and submit your questions:  https://survey.sogosurvey.com/r/gbYfQK . The speaker will review your questions and:

• Offer an overview of individual U.S. income tax compliance obligations for U.S. citizens and resident aliens

• Explain what to do if you have not filed prior U.S. tax returns

• Share insight into the future of U.S. tax policy

Please join us for this informative and interactive webinar!
