While those are rather depressing numbers, they offer an opportunity to some to renounce while avoiding covered expatriate status.

With the stock market flirting with new lows and the net wealth of shareholders would likewise meet depressing levels, it just might be the right time to renounce. You might have just crossed the 2 million dollar mark, which would allow you to renounce without being a covered expatriate.

Not only might you mot be a covered expatriate. But even if you are a covered expatriate, these unrealized losses would reduce the amount of exit tax, if any.

US consulates still feel the lingering effect of the covid 19 pandemic. As such, in most cases, you would have a wait time of 6 months before being able to schedule an appointment.

Contact 1040 Abroad, and we'll be able to advise you if those apply to your individual circumstances as well as guide you to a consulate with a wait time to get an appointment of less than a month.
