ABOUT THE LIVING LIFE IN COSTA RICA BLOG

I (Vicki Skinner - aka "THE Sarong Goddess") created this blog in 2007 to share DETAILED Finds•Lists•Info•Events•Experiences to help bring more EASE to people living in, visiting or thinking of moving to Costa Rica since DETAILS are NOT easy to find!
I’m NOT an expert (an "expert" 2 ME knows 101%-NOT me). I believe in sharin info•helping where I can! And with over 2,200 entries, so some things might be out of date, so if you find old info PLEASE help each other by getting the updated info & sharing it with me to revise. At least you have some basic info to get you started.
VOLUNTEER TO HELP:
Better yet - do you have extra time on your hands & looking for a volunteer project? Since this blog is a labor of love & RARELY does anyone share a donation (even though MANY have said how much it's helped them), I could REALLY use help updating info. Spanish speakers ESPECIALLY welcome since my VicLish can be somewhat limited at times!!

Delinquent U.S. Expat Taxes: Where to Start

Are You Late with Filing Your US Expat Taxes (even several years)?
Here’s how to get back on track (and why you should!)
The author of this article, David McKeegan, is Director and Co-Founder of Greenback Expat Tax Services, a US Income Tax provider that provides best-in-class, expert expatriate tax services at an honest price for Americans living overseas. All information was correct at the time this article was written (February 2013).

Although many do not know it, it is actually quite common for American expats to find themselves late with their US expat taxes. Many expats are not familiar with the requirements to file, the necessary forms and schedules that must be attached, as well as other reports that must be submitted to US government agencies. Fortunately, until now, the IRS has been quite accommodating when it comes to allowing individuals to get caught up on their expat taxes.

You’re not alone! Taking it step by step can make getting back on track with the IRS and Treasury Department much more manageable. This article aims to walk you through the most common questions about the implications of being behind on your US expat taxes, how to get back on track, and why we recommend doing so.
