Residency & Source of Income Disputes

Generally, the United States collects income taxes from non-U.S. citizens who earn income in the United States. The extent to which a foreign citizen is liable for income taxes to the United States is based primarily on that individual’s status as a resident alien or a non-resident alien. Residency, for U.S. income tax purposes, is measured by the amount of time an individual physically spends in the United States.

Of course, the IRS collects income taxes from U.S. citizens wherever they earn their income. However, pursuant to the foreign earned income exclusion, a qualified U.S. citizen may exclude a portion of his earned income from taxation if he was working abroad and had a "tax home" in a foreign country. Any U.S. citizen whose tax home is in a foreign country and who meets either the bona fide residence test or the physical presence test qualifies for the foreign earned income exclusion.

In determining a U.S. or a non-U.S. citizen’s residency for federal income tax purposes, the IRS considers a wide range of facts and circumstances. The determination is critical as it impacts the taxpayer’s tax liability.

In addition to residency, the IRS considers the source of the income. Specifically, they look at whether the income was earned inside the United States or outside.

"Kevin E. Thorn and the tax attorneys at Thorn Law Group are exceptional. When I came to them, I had just received a letter from the Department of Justice concerning an undisclosed bank account at a Swiss bank. I thought I was going to go to jail and lose everything I had worked for just because my family and my business are international. Mr. Thorn's knowledge of the tax laws and his skills in presenting my situation to the IRS and Department of Justice proved superior!"
