Expat US Tax Releases Guide to Filing US Taxes From Australia in 2026

New resource from Expat US Tax explains US tax filing requirements, foreign income reporting, and cross-border tax considerations for Americans living and working in Australia for the 2025 tax year.

MELBOURNE, Australia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Expat US Tax has released its latest Guide to Filing US Taxes From Australia, a resource designed to help US citizens and Green Card holders understand their ongoing tax responsibilities while living abroad.

The guide addresses common challenges Americans face when moving to or living in Australia, including understanding why US tax obligations continue overseas, how Australian income is reported to the IRS, and which tax benefits may help reduce double taxation..

The new guide covers key topics including:

• Whether Americans living in Australia still need to file US taxes
• Differences between the US and Australian tax systems
• The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion and Foreign Tax Credit
• US tax deadlines for Americans abroad
• FBAR and FATCA reporting requirements for Australian bank accounts
• Tax treatment of Australian investments and superannuation
• Retirement considerations for Americans living in Australia
• Self-employment and foreign income reporting obligations

“Many Americans move to Australia expecting their tax situation to become simpler, but managing two different tax systems can create unexpected challenges,” said Seth Hertz, Director at Expat US Tax. “Understanding how Australian income, financial accounts, and retirement arrangements are treated under US tax rules can help Americans avoid mistakes and stay compliant while living overseas.”

Australia remains one of the most popular destinations for Americans due to its strong economy, international workforce, and quality of life. However, the interaction between US and Australian tax rules can create complexity, particularly around foreign income, investments, superannuation, and reporting requirements.

The guide is available at “Australia Tax Guide for U.S. Expats” on Expat US Tax
