Post Investment Guidance for EB-5 Investors - AIIA
Information for EB-5 Investors to consider such as Taxes and Foreign Travel
The advent of paying U.S. taxes is one of the least attractive and most forgotten parts of an EB-5 investor’s immigration process. Yet all U.S. residents must file annual tax returns in accordance with the standards set by the IRS, who strictly monitors compliance with U.S. tax code. While the process of filing U.S. taxes is arduous, the organization of financial affairs in multiple countries and paying taxes on those assets is even more complex.
Working with a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or tax attorney with knowledge of the EB-5 program and experience with past investors is the best way to ensure that all assets are accounted for and that the immigration process will not be affected by unintentional tax evasion charges.
U.S. tax requirements for EB-5 investors are complex, given investors in the program are required to make a large investment in the U.S. economy, change residence status, and eventually have their investment repaid to them. Tax liability may even apply to petitioners prior to conditional permanent residency in the U.S, meaning EB-5 immigrants should be preparing for U.S. tax returns early into their EB-5 process, far before they plan to enter the country
Educating yourself of potential tax liabilities, and understanding the basics of the U.S. tax code is one of the best ways to prepare yourself prior to a first consultation with a professional.
AIIA can refer you to a skilled CPA or Tax Attorney with deep understanding of the EB-5 investment process and can expertly guide you through U.S. tax codes.
