First, new immigrants in the United States should declare their overseas deposits and assets.

Getting a green card in the United States means officially becoming a tax resident in the United States. In addition, living in the United States for 183 days will automatically become a taxpayer resident in the United States. If you have met the 183-day test one year before you get the American green card, then the starting date of American tax residents is the first day of entering the United States last year.

According to the US tax law, all deposits (funds) in overseas financial accounts must be declared, otherwise they will be fined after being found out, with a fine of 654.38 million US dollars; If you deliberately fail to declare, you will be fined $6,543,800 or 50% of the property, whichever is the other.

There is no need to pay taxes when declaring overseas assets, but only when the assets gain income, such as only the income from buying, selling and renting houses, or the interest of banks and the income from stocks. If new immigrants in the United States misreport, fail to report or receive low-income government subsidies, it is suggested to amend the tax return to avoid being rejected when applying for a green card. The first declaration is very important, and it is recommended to find an experienced certified public accountant to handle it.

Second, foreign investors in the United States declare taxes.

The real estate agent who handles the rental business on behalf of the landlord should remind and urge the overseas landlord to file tax returns, otherwise 30% of the landlord's rental income will be handed over to the IRS.
