In the teeth of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. is providing money to its citizens. Do Americans living abroad qualify for this relief?
Still maintaining social distance, Rachel and David tackle your elgibility for money through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, and whether you need to do anything to receive it. (For more information, visit the FAQ compiled by DA's Taxation Task force, led by Carmelan Polce: https://www.democratsabroad.org/carmelan/coronavirus_aid_relief_economic_safety_cares_act_faqs. And please send your stories about the difficulty of complying with tax law as an American abroad to taxationtf@democratsabroad.org, subject headed "my tax story.")
With shout-outs to Suzy Q doughnuts and Rachel's accountant in Ottawa.
