Great information for everyone. We are US citizens, living abroad, with an online business based back in the States. There are several people we have met here in Portugal who are from the US doing the same thing.

@ZachSavageDrums Год назад

Hi!! I am living in Sydney, AU and have a small online business in USA (FL). How do you go about tax season? Do you have someone handle your taxes or do them yourselves? And does that impact your taxes in the country you are in? Thanks!

@vr4class885 2 года назад

Hello and thank you for this informative post. I have a couple of follow-on questions please. A question: We have an LLC set up already in a state w/ no state tax. We are not quite ready to move yet, but wondering if it would be easier to change the entity name, banking, and so on with the existing LLC, or better to close it and start fresh? For banking, we are considering Transferwise's multi-currency account. If you have not already done so, please consider covering Transferwise as a banking solution for entrepreneurs living abroad? Right now, it appears to be one of the few options we've found to-date. Just not totally sure how receptive they are to U.S. citizens because of all of the restrictions on us. Thank you.

@danielgil9747 2 года назад

Very interesting video. I'd like to get more info about taxes when living in a foreign country. I always heard that if you live in two different places, you pay taxes where you live for more than 6 months. If you create a company in America but you live elsewhere for over 6 months, must you pay taxes in the other country? How does it work? The decision about paying taxes as an S-Corp makes things even more complicated, but I think it would be a good idea to create a video about taxes in general when you live elsewhere being the decision of creating an S-Corp part of it. If you want to grow your channel, maybe you could consider inviting a specialist in taxes. As you said, there is very little information about that on the internet so I'm sure you'd get lots of views :)

This is so helpful! Thanks, Jim! Would love more info on biz bank accounts & living abroad and just online business legal implications for digital nomads. Keep posting great videos!

@jimhart 2 года назад

We are moving overseas in July - I’m am probably going to start a separate channel to share our experience.

@hannahmoore3733 2 года назад

@@jimhart amazing! Can’t wait to watch. We are actually planning to move to Lisbon…I hear it’s hugely popular for digital nomads and expats

@geraldfirme1213 2 года назад

Sir, Thank you. Im learning so much from you compare to others who are not patient to explain to me even they have a business presently. I plan to move back to the Philippines with my family. My wife is already a dual citizen, but I’m not. I just retired from the military and see a great opportunities to help others in the Philippines. With this in mind, I will need to have a side business registered in my wife’s name since I’m not a dual citizen, Filipino American, born in the U.S. still researching this information. Thank you again.

@cocoscabana Год назад

Don't start one there until you are there 6 mos. At least and make sure you are running it only ! Please...Take YOUR time

@DarlitaDawn 2 года назад

Location Independence is not a pandemic-related thing. It has been a thing ever since reasonable internet connections became available. It seems that awareness of location independence is suddenly more common. It might be more beneficial to have an abroad company once you've gotten your back side outside

Hi, this is my first year doing taxes for my small online business based out of FL but I live in Sydney, Australia. I am stressing out about doing my taxes right. Could you clarify what you mean by no taxes for the state of Florida? Thank you!

Do I need to register "Foreign" ?

@katherynabou-chakra8771 5 месяцев назад

I'm interested in doing this. I am Canadian but have lived in the US so I have an SSN etc. The entire process would be the same for me, correct? But would I need to obtain a visa to be able to operate my business in the US while living abroad?

@jimhart Месяц назад

Have you talked to a lawyer?

@flakka2466 2 года назад

Quick question, if I'm operating abroad without being a us citizen but using a relative to set up a bank account under their name what kinda of process should I follow or what should I be worried about?

@cocoscabana Год назад

You better get an llc, and make sure you are listed a d set it up that they can not get a % or any of your money, etc.. plus they would be liable if anything happened..

@javierbardo84 Год назад

Why is Delaware not a good option for incorporating your LLC?

@jimhart Год назад

Not if you don’t live there

I'm in the USA. My partner is in India where we are manufacturing our products. Do we form an LLC in the USA? We want to make sure the company shows as HQ in the USA with a branch in India as the same company. Do we need to do anything special to do this?
