Sound Familiar?
These are the exact questions we hear from Americans every day
-
"Is my U.S. Social Security income taxable in Portugal?"
-
"Which tax return do I file first?"
-
"Do I still have to pay Portuguese taxes if my job is in the U.S?"
-
"I read on the internet that I’d have to pay 53% in Portuguese tax. Is that true?"
Learn How to Protect Yourself
We are the only U.S. tax attorneys in Portugal. Americans expats are in a unique situation having to navigate both U.S. and Portuguese taxes on worldwide income. Learn how the two tax systems interact for American expats from the experts (for less than the cost of a consultation).
Why Reliable Information Matters
The IRS has publicly warned taxpayers that advice circulating on social media and message boards has led to incorrect filings and, this year, $162 million in penalties.
Most American expats in Portugal are managing their taxes alone. But U.S. obligations do NOT disappear when you live abroad, and even experienced U.S. accountants often make major mistakes with cross-border filings. One simple error can cost you thousands. Tax 101 was designed to replace that noise with clear, attorney-led explanations, so you can understand your obligations confidently and avoid errors that could trigger enforcement issues.
Don’t let a wrong assumption become a costly penalty.
FBAR mistakes alone cost $10,000+ in fines.
Filing your U.S. and Portuguese returns out of sync? You could lose credits and pay twice.
DIY online tools won’t protect you unless you know which rules apply to expats in Portugal.
This Masterclass is For:
Americans living in Portugal (retirees, remote workers, freelancers, families, investors, small business owners)
People who do their own taxes or want to confidently manage cross-border coordination with a U.S. advisor
Anyone who wants to avoid catastrophic fines and maximize their after-tax income
