🇵🇹 Portugal relocation cluster
Taxes for Americans living in Portugal
Understand US filing duties, local tax residency triggers, FEIE/FTC basics, and when to hire a cross-border pro. This is the first scalable slice of the TotallyNomad country cluster: practical, updateable, and linked back into your full country guide.
What to plan first
- ✓US citizens still file a US return, and may also have FBAR/FATCA reporting if foreign accounts cross thresholds.
- ✓Portugal tax residency and social security treatment depend on days present, income type, and whether you work locally or remotely.
- ✓Model FEIE vs Foreign Tax Credit before moving; the better choice can change once Portuguese tax applies.
