Many Americans in Sweden can eliminate their US tax bill. Are you one of them?

Find out how to save with special tax credits, exclusions, and deductions for US citizens in Sweden.

  1. Sweden’s tax rate is high enough that resident expats are almost guaranteed to wipe out their tax liability with the United States. But you’ll still need to file accurately and on time to avoid penalties!

  2. American expats can use the Foreign Tax Credit to offset US taxes dollar-for-dollar with taxes paid in Sweden.

  3. Working abroad? The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion allows you to exclude a certain amount of the income you earned in Sweden from your US expat taxes.

  4. US citizens and green card holders may need to report on financial assets in Sweden, including bank accounts, with amounts higher than the thresholds set by the IRS. Incomplete filings can result in additional fees.

One of the best ways for US citizens working in Sweden to save on taxes is to file early and accurately. Greenback can help you do it!

Check US expat taxes off your to-do list so you can enjoy Sweden.

We’ll review your personal tax needs to make sure your filing is correct and complete. Assuming you’re up to date on your US expat taxes, most Americans living in Sweden need to file the following:

Federal Tax Return

All Americans living abroad need to file a federal tax return each year, if they make over the minimum filing thresholds (12,000 for filing single, 24,000 for married filing jointly). This is true even if you are filing in the country in which you reside.

$485

State Tax Return

This varies on the last state you lived in in the US. Some states like California or Virginia require you to file a tax return, others like Washington or Texas do not. We can advise you based on your specific situation.

$155

FBAR Reporting

If you have a financial interest in one or more overseas financial accounts and the total value of all of the financial accounts combined was $10,000 or more during any point during the tax year.
