Counseling Clients on Expatriation: Advising U.S. Citizens, Green Card Holders, and Their Beneficiaries

Course Overview

Expatriation Is Now a Two-Tax Problem with No Statute of Limitations

2026-06-11 13:00:00

Renouncing U.S. citizenship or abandoning a green card no longer ends a client’s exposure to the U.S. tax system — it shifts the liability forward to the next generation. The §2801 final regulations took effect in 2025, imposing a 40% succession tax on every covered gift or bequest a U.S. beneficiary receives from a covered expatriate, with no lookback limit and no fix once the donor is gone. At the same time, roughly 5,000 Americans expatriate each year, the §877A mark-to-market exit tax continues to ensnare clients who never thought of themselves as wealthy, and willful FBAR penalties now reach $165,353 per violation. Tax, estate, and immigration attorneys advising globally mobile families are already exposed, often working from pre-2025 assumptions. This program delivers the doctrinal map across Sections 877A and 2801, the renunciation and Form I-407 procedures, the Form 8854, W-8 CE, and Form 708 mechanics, and the Streamlined Filing and Voluntary Disclosure pathways — so attendees leave able to identify covered expatriates, structure pre-expatriation gifts and non-grantor trusts, and protect U.S. heirs from inheritance liability they did not know was coming.
