Join Our Free Webinar on December 4th
For many Americans living abroad, navigating taxes becomes a yearly puzzle, especially when two different tax systems collide. To make this easier, Fresh is hosting a free webinar on December 4th with two specialists who work every day with U.S.–Italy cross border cases.
You will hear from a U.S. CPA focused on expatriate taxation and an Italian accountant who advises Americans living in Italy.
Together, they will break down the core issues Americans face when filing both U.S. and Italian tax returns and answer live questions from attendees.
What You Will Learn
Do Americans really have to file U.S. taxes while living abroad?
Many expats are surprised to learn that the U.S. taxes its citizens based on citizenship, not residency.
Even if you move overseas indefinitely, you may still have an annual U.S. filing obligation.
But what exactly needs to be filed and what if you owe nothing?
How to avoid double taxation between the U.S. and Italy?
Living in Italy means facing the possibility of taxation by both countries.
Tools like the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, Foreign Tax Credits, and the U.S.–Italy tax treaty can help reduce or eliminate double taxation—when applied correctly.
Which strategy works best depends on the type and source of your income.
Which return should you file first: U.S. or Italian?
Many Americans don’t realize that the filing order between the two countries can directly affect how much tax is ultimately owed.
Our tax experts will explain why the sequence matters and how to avoid unnecessary tax.
What about FBAR and FATCA? Do you need both?
Some of the most important U.S. international reporting obligations are not tax returns.
FBAR and FATCA have different thresholds, different systems, and different penalty structures.
Our CPA will explain who must file what and what to do if you’re behind.
What triggers Italian tax residency?
Italy may determine tax residency based on several factors: Anagrafe registration, habitual abode, center of vital interests, and the amount of time spent in the country.
The Italian accountant will explain why residency matters—especially for Americans with U.S. income or business activity.
What foreign assets do Italian residents need to declare?
The session will clarify what must be included in the RW Form and when IVIE and IVAFE apply. This includes bank accounts, investments, real estate, crypto, and ownership in foreign companies.
When can you apply for Italian tax incentives?
Italy offers several tax incentives, but the timing of the request, and whether it must be made during the tax return filing process is crucial.
You will learn when these incentives must be requested and how they fit into your annual tax return.
How does Italy treat U.S. LLC income?
A U.S. LLC treated as a pass-through in the United States may be treated very differently in Italy. This topic alone can have major financial impact and is often misunderstood.
Learn why the classification differs, how Italy may tax U.S. LLC income, and what expats must prepare for.
Do you risk paying for social security twice?
The U.S.–Italy Totalization Agreement exists to prevent double social security contributions, but only if applied correctly.
The webinar will explain when a Certificate of Coverage is needed and how to avoid paying twice.
Who should attend?
This session is ideal for:
- Americans living or planning to move to Italy
- Digital nomads with U.S. citizenship
- Entrepreneurs with U.S. companies
- Anyone unsure whether they are filing correctly
- Anyone trying to avoid double taxation or penalties
Whether you’ve lived abroad for years or just arrived, this webinar will give you clarity and confidence.
Tax compliance for American expats in Italy is complex but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
