Terms of Use

These terms explain how you may use Expat Tax Savvy. The short version: this site is here to educate, not to replace professional tax advice or magically file your return while you make coffee.

Last updated: 2026

Educational Use Only

Expat Tax Savvy provides general educational information about U.S. expat tax filing, common forms, deadlines, foreign income rules, and foreign account reporting.

The information on this site is not legal, tax, accounting, financial, or professional advice. Your facts matter, tax rules change, and some filing situations require individual review by a qualified professional.

Acceptance of These Terms

By using this website, you agree to these Terms of Use. If you do not agree with these terms, do not use the site.

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after updates means you accept the revised terms.

No Professional-Client Relationship

Using this site, reading a guide, clicking a form link, sending an email, or using any future paid walkthrough does not create a tax professional-client, attorney-client, accountant-client, or advisor-client relationship.

If you need advice for your specific situation, consult a qualified tax professional who can review your actual records, income, residency facts, foreign accounts, foreign business structure, prior-year filings, and other relevant details.

No Guarantee of Accuracy or Completeness

We work to make the information on Expat Tax Savvy practical, current, and useful. However, tax laws, IRS forms, deadlines, thresholds, and filing instructions can change. We do not guarantee that every page is complete, current, or applicable to your individual situation.

You are responsible for verifying information against current IRS, FinCEN, and other official guidance before filing or making tax decisions.

User Responsibility

You are responsible for your own filing decisions, records, calculations, submissions, deadlines, and professional support needs.

This includes, but is not limited to:

IRS and Third-Party Links

This site may link to IRS, FinCEN, government, tax software, affiliate, or other third-party websites. Those sites are not controlled by Expat Tax Savvy.

We are not responsible for third-party content, availability, accuracy, privacy practices, fees, services, or decisions. Always confirm that you are using the correct official site before entering sensitive information.

Future Premium Content

Expat Tax Savvy may offer paid walkthroughs, downloadable templates, examples, or other premium resources in the future. Until premium access is fully active, premium pages may appear as placeholders or coming-soon pages.

Any future paid content will still be educational unless expressly stated otherwise. It will not replace individualized professional tax advice.

Intellectual Property

The text, structure, design, graphics, guides, explanations, and other content on this site are owned by or licensed to Expat Tax Savvy unless otherwise noted.

You may use the site for personal educational purposes. You may not copy, reproduce, republish, sell, scrape, or redistribute substantial portions of the site without permission.

Prohibited Uses

You agree not to misuse the site. Prohibited uses include:

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Expat Tax Savvy and its owners, contributors, affiliates, or service providers are not liable for losses, penalties, damages, costs, missed deadlines, filing errors, tax assessments, or other consequences arising from your use of this site or reliance on its content.

Use the site as a learning resource, not as your only safeguard against tax trouble. The IRS and FinCEN are not grading on vibes.

No Warranty

This site is provided “as is” and “as available.” We do not make warranties that the site will always be available, error-free, secure, complete, or suitable for your specific needs.
