DEMOCRATS ABROAD Costa Rica
MONTHLY MEETING
Saturday - January 25, 2014
9:30am till noon-ish
TAXES! FATCA!
James Brohl, C.P.A., will speak to us about TAXES, and especially FATCA.
Be aware of what has changed in the tax laws this year before filing your taxes. Many new requirements are in effect concerning reporting of assets, especially for expats. And everyone is looking for clarity on the laws so we don’t pay more than we are required.
I've posted details on that at:
LivingLifeInCostaRica.blogspot.com/2014/01/FBARFACTATaxUpdateJan14.html
SPEAKER DETAILS:
James Brohl is a C.P.A. from the State of Michigan and earned his M.B.A. from Michigan State University. He is a tax professional with over 10 years experience in International Tax matters working in Costa Rica. He has in-depth knowledge of both U.S. Corporate and Individual tax returns. Before moving to Costa Rica he worked for Ford Motor Corporation.

*Please be sure to make your reservation if you plan to come to any DACR meeting as their
cushion between what the hotel charges them and what they charge for
attendance is getting very thin. They used to order bocas for 3-5 extra
people for meetings, but if they did that now they would lose money,
so they order
only for those who made their reservation, and then order extra on the
day of the meeting. However, the hotel can charge them 20% extra
if they order bocas on the day of the meeting, so they need to avoid
that.
