How to transfer property to achieve legal tax avoidance?

Exchange book value-added cash before immigration.

The principle of taxation in the United States generally only taxes realized income, that is, real estate is taxed when it is bought, sold or transferred. If the property is not transferred, value-added tax will not be levied on the books. There are still many unrealized cases of book appreciation, such as the price increase of real estate and the appreciation of stocks, bonds and jewelry. New immigrants are likely to encounter the problem of American real estate value-added tax when dealing with real estate. Because the property brought in from abroad after becoming an American resident does not need to be taxed, the easiest way is to cash in the income that has not been realized by book appreciation before reporting, such as selling stocks, transferring real estate, and buying it back if you like, which will increase the cost. You can also buy a large life insurance in the United States before landing tax returns (why this time is very particular, please consult us), hide the money, invest tax-free, and never pay taxes. Or wait until you have an identity before investing in new shares and real estate with cash. So you don't have to pay taxes on these pre-immigrant value-added properties. But in addition to the investment in life insurance, the future appreciation of other investments still needs to be taxed. On the other hand, if there is a loss-making investment, there is no need to rush to sell it. You can wait until you get a green card, so that you can get a tax credit later.

Working overseas, the United States is tax-free.

For immigrants, green card, citizenship and tax are contradictory. American immigration law stipulates that green card holders must stay in the United States for more than half a year, otherwise their green cards may be confiscated. However, if there are reasonable reasons why you cannot return to the United States within six months, you can apply for a return permit (white paper), which is valid for two years. In addition, naturalized American citizens must stay in the United States for more than two and a half years within five years of holding a green card, and must file tax returns honestly. However, more and more new immigrants return to work after getting green cards, and only report to the United States symbolically every year, nicknamed "running green cards." "Green card" has tax exemption for overseas labor income. However, the tax law stipulates that you can only enjoy this allowance if you stay overseas for more than 330 days a year, that is, you can only stay in the United States for 35 days a year. This is in contradiction with the condition stipulated in the Immigration Law that you can stay in the United States for half a year before you can keep your green card. However, if you apply for a re-entry permit (white paper) and use your green card together with the re-entry permit, you can legally stay overseas for 1-2 years, and your green card will not be confiscated when you re-enter the customs. It not only meets the requirements of the immigration law, but also enjoys a certain amount of tax exemption stipulated by the tax law.
