Can immigrants take all their property with them?

Legal analysis: Yes. Personal assets are usually divided into three categories: (1) current assets; (2) real estate; (3) shares of the company. The United States generally only needs to declare and pay taxes on current assets.

(1) Current assets: You should declare this part before entering the customs. Prove to the IRS that you have enough cash and have paid all your taxes before emigrating. You can remit money at any time after emigration, without explaining the source of funds, to prevent reckless operation from turning your positive money into black money. When you immigrate to the United States in the future, you will convert this part of the funds into legal tax-free income through professional channels.

(2) Real estate: in terms of self-occupied housing, if there is no rental income and transfer, don't worry for the time being. Usually, these assets are not required to be declared. In the United States, if you have lived in your own house for more than two years, you will get a maximum value-added tax reduction of $500,000 at the time of transfer. As for commercial real estate, you can consider selling it before coming to the United States and buying it back after immigrating.

(3) Company shares: You should handle this part carefully and properly before emigration. You can sell stocks or company interests before immigration to avoid the high tax rate in the United States, and buy them back after immigration, which can be described as many benefits. Loss-making assets can be considered for sale after coming to the United States, with tax deduction.
