About usexittax
usexittax is an independent reference on the US exit tax, the expatriation tax under IRC §877A that applies when citizens renounce or long-term residents give up a green card. Our goal is simple: give people a calm, accurate answer to the question that keeps them up at night, "will I owe the exit tax," without the fear-marketing common in this corner of the internet.
What we do
We translate dense IRS rules into plain English, keep our figures current to the tax year, and give away the tool most sites withhold: a free Covered Expatriate & Exit Tax Estimator. Every number on the site is traced to a primary source, listed on our sources page.
What we are not
Independent reference. We are not a tax-prep or law firm and have nothing to sell. Every figure is sourced to the IRS or primary law. We do not prepare returns, file forms, or take a cut of anyone's tax outcome. That independence is the point: we have nothing to sell you and no reason to overstate your exposure.
Editorial standard
This is a YMYL (your money or your life) topic, so we hold a higher bar. We separate settled IRS rules from planning opinions, flag figures that change year to year, and update the "last verified" date when we review the law. A named CPA or tax attorney reviewer for the site is an open commitment we are working to add.
Use a professional
Nothing here is tax or legal advice. Expatriation is irreversible and the numbers are large, so confirm your specific situation with a qualified cross-border tax professional before you act. See our full disclaimer.
