🚨Breaking News 🚨📣𝗠𝗰𝗚𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗲 is here! 🌍



After years of one-on-one calls with expats, digital nomads, and cross-border investors, one thing kept coming up: most of you don't need another generic tax newsletter. You need a place to ask the in-between questions.



That's why we're launching the 𝗠𝗰𝗚𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝗖𝗶𝗿𝗰𝗹𝗲 - a private community built specifically for U.S. expats, digital nomads, and globally mobile professionals.


Inside, you'll find:



🌍Live Cross-Border Tax Series sessions hosted by Alex, recorded for replay


🌍A vetted Rolodex of referrals for immigration attorneys, foreign tax pros, and country-specific advisors


🌍Real expat tax stories - how people are actually navigating FEIE, FBAR, Form 5471, and residency decisions


🌍A space to ask the questions that don't quite warrant a full consultation but deserve a real answer



A few details on access:



𝗧𝗮𝘅 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: You're in automatically. Watch your inbox this week for your access details.



𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀𝗹𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗯𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀: A three-month FREE trial is coming your way. No credit card required.



Sign up for our FREE 90 day trial with no credit card here: community.mcgowintax.com/checkout/community-member…



Most "expat communities" are either Facebook groups full of bad advice or paywalled forums that go quiet after week two. We're going for something different - tight, useful, and grounded in real client work.



If you've ever Googled a Form 8938 question at midnight from Lisbon, this is for you.

Full launch details drop in this week's newsletter.

🤔 The never-implemented Section 891 could dramatically shift international taxation. Consider this:

A US expat in the UK paying 40% could face additional 34% US tax
Corporate rates could jump from 21% to 42%
Treaty benefits may be overridden

Key question: Is this a serious policy proposal or negotiation leverage?
