US Taxes for Expats 2025: Our Tax Expert Answers Your Questions
All the answers to your questions about tax and accounting for those living in the United States from Australia and around the world. Join our annual virtual event where Jason Stoch, Managing Director of UpTrend Advisory will answer common tax and accounting questions about what's required when you move to the US, and your ongoing requirements while in the US.
Why is it so important? Really it all comes down to this: When you or your accountant is preparing your taxes, there's no “Check this box if you're from overseas to be compliant” option. Instead, there are a range of forms and questions that you need to KNOW to ask, in order to file properly.
So we give you all the questions to ask and ensure you're filing properly not only your first time, but with every year's changes.
Key topics that we'll cover in the expat tax webinar
- Which country do I have to file returns in and what other requirements are there?
- When and how do I file a tax return in the US?
- What’s the Substantial Presence residency test and the impact of immigration status on residency?
- What are the tax requirements of a resident vs non-resident?
- What the tax requirements of an Australian that is treated as a resident in more detail e.g. Investment properties, shares/stocks?
- The Tax Treaty between the US and Australia
- FBARs / declaring foreign income + offshore assets
- When is a W-8BEN (or W-9) required?
- What impact can a second Trump Presidency have on expat taxes?
You can submit questions when you sign up and we will do our best to provide information that will be relevant for everyone who is joining!
Question submission closes on January 19, 2025.

About Jason Stoch, UpTrend Advisory
Jason moved to the United States from Sydney in 2013 and spent over 3 years living in New York City. Having enough of the cabin fever that the cold winters bring, he moved to sunny San Diego where he now resides.
While living in New York City, Jason noticed that the majority of his Australian friends did not understand the US tax system and began to help them traverse the landscape as an American CPA and Australian Chartered Accountant.
Fast-forward to today, Jason established UpTrend Advisory, the only Australian owned CPA firm in the US where his team specializes in expat taxes for individuals and businesses. They are passionate about helping clients navigate the two countries' tax systems and have helped thousands of expats living in the U.S and abroad.
Josh Pugh, America Josh
Josh moved to New York City from Adelaide, South Australia in the middle of a cold 2017 winter. While there was no real plan but it was clear that the city and its 7 million+ people meant for all sorts of adventures and opportunities.
After arriving though it was clear that transitioning your life from one country another was a pain, and there was no real advice to help you order a sandwich properly, let alone arrange for real things like Social Security. So he started America Josh.
America Josh is an online guide and community network helping expats from all over the world move to and thrive in America.
