Real stories, told by real people.

“Millions of Americans living abroad are taxpayers, yet we are treated as an afterthought by the system—expected to comply with complex and costly tax rules while being denied basic assistance.” - Gabriel Morrow

Born and raised in Cleveland, Tennessee, today Gabriel joins us. And he's got a story to tell. In 2020, Gabriel moved to Canada for love. Shortly after moving, and filing for his U.S. taxes things began to unwind. A refund of $1,800 was due, but was never processed. It was flagged because of fraud. Four years later, and a handful of roadblocks, Gabriel finally received his refund in 2024. But this exposed him to a bigger issue - "the U.S. expat taxation quagmire."

We're gonna sort through some of the weeds in this convo and hopefully clear some things up. I learned a lot I wasn't privy to prior to our conversation. Maybe you're like me, from the U.S. and now living abroad. Or thinking about relocating. This might be for you.

Til next time

and very soon,

PEACE!
