Abstract

US citizens and resident aliens are subject to income taxation on worldwide income, as well as gift and estate taxation on worldwide assets. Avoiding those rules by becoming a non-resident alien can yield substantial US tax benefits. In order to minimize the US tax benefits of expatriating, a variety of special rules apply to certain individuals who relinquish their US citizenship or cease to be "long-term residents" of the United States. This article discusses the special income tax rules applicable to "covered expatriates."
