Help I’m American!

Welcome to episode 1 of American Overseas

America is the only first-world country in the world that enforces a tax duty on American citizens, wherever they live or work.

I’m Linda Mabelis and today I’m speaking with experience expert Daan Durlacher.

Born and raised in the Netherlands, he found out that he happened to be American through his mother and that he also had to comply with American tax liability.

Americans Overseas

We, the founders of Americans Overseas, were born in the Netherlands and obtained our American nationality through our (American) mother.

When we heard about the US tax system for the first time around 2013, we were in total disbelief (it can’t be true!), anger (how can they do this?), fear (am I going to get fined or pick up other problems?), and panic (what should I do?). It is (unfortunately) true that there is an additional American tax levy. But there’s no information from the local government, and when approached, the consulate referred us to the IRS, and the IRS was impenetrable.

That’s why we started this initiative to help people from all over the world by providing proper information about the US tax system to avoid unnecessary panic and offering help free of obligation and free of charge. If needed, we have a network of affordable professionals (accountants) who can help you with your bitcoin tax obligations.
