  • Resumen

  • Foreign-born US citizens, green card holders (immigrants) in the US, and foreign nationals on temporary nonimmigrant US visas, have unique financial & US tax compliance challenges as they straddle their multi-country footprint.

    US expats living abroad have somewhat similar challenges from having to deal with US taxes and foreign obligations.

    In "The International Money Café Podcast" Jane Mepham, CFP®, and Manasa Nadig, EA, address these unique challenges over a cup of Coffee/Chai in addition to talking about life in the US.

    Join them as they filter out the noise on cross-border taxes, finances, and life in the US, and save you hours combing the internet for information relevant to your situation.

    Jane & Manasa being foreign-born, are able to address these issues from a very personal and relatable point of view every other week, as they walk the same journey and pursue their own version of the American dream.

  • Ep 42: What Is English For "Gift And Estate Taxes"?
    Apr 16 2025
    There is a huge difference between the gift and estate tax. This is highly magnified based on your immigration status (U.S. residents and non-resident aliens (NRAs)).

    We also explain the annual exclusion for gifts, the unified tax credit, and the importance of tax planning to navigate these complex tax laws.

    The conversation highlights the need for careful planning to avoid significant tax liabilities, especially for non-resident aliens with U.S. assets.

    Some Key Takeaways
    • A gift tax is applicable during the lifetime of the giver.
    • The estate tax is assessed after a person's death.
    • The annual exclusion allows gifting up to $19,000 without tax in 2025.
    • Non-resident aliens have a much lower exemption of $60,000, while U.S. tax residents have $13.99 million - set to sunset in 2025.
    • Planning is crucial to manage tax liabilities effectively.
    • Understanding domicile is key for tax implications.
    Future episodes will delve deeper into the tax and financial planning strategies that will help with the above.
