Tax-residency concepts.
Cross-border tax residency is a set of general concepts that confuse a lot of people: corporate residency is not personal residency, the 183-day rule is one factor and not the whole test, and a US owner carries reporting that a non-US owner does not. This tool explains those concepts in plain English. It reaches no conclusion about your situation and gives no personalized advice.
This is general educational information, not tax or legal advice. OffshoreGuy is not a law or accounting firm, and these concepts have not been reviewed by a tax professional. Consult a qualified professional for your situation.
Pick a persona and an entity type to filter the concepts
The two steps below do one thing: they narrow which general concepts are surfaced. They do not determine your status, recommend a structure, or record anything about you. Read the concepts that appear, then take the specifics to a qualified cross-border tax professional.
Who is asking?
This only narrows which general concepts you see. It does not record or judge your tax status.
We are not a law or accounting firm
OffshoreGuy is a company-formation platform. It is not a law firm, an accounting firm, or a bank, and it gives no personalized legal, tax, or financial advice. The concepts here are general and educational, correct at the US federal level where they are US-specific, and they reach no conclusion about your own facts. Tax-residency, reporting, and treaty rules vary by country and change over time. Before you rely on anything here, consult a qualified professional, a licensed attorney or a qualified cross-border tax professional such as a US Enrolled Agent or CPA, for your situation.
