Renounce Ready · For Americans abroad

Thinking about handing back the blue passport? Know your number first.

The IRS charges some people a one-time "exit tax" on their way out the door. Find out in 60 seconds whether that's likely to be you — before you pay an advisor $5,000 to tell you the same thing.

★ ★ ★

You may be a covered expatriate.

Based on your answers, at least one of the three IRS tests likely applies to you. That doesn't mean a huge bill is certain — but it means planning before you renounce could save you a lot. Check your inbox: your one-page snapshot explains which test flagged and the moves that can change the outcome.

CLEARED
FOR PLANNING
★ ★ ★

You likely avoid the exit tax.

Based on your answers, none of the three IRS tests appear to apply. Your job now is keeping it that way and getting the paperwork sequence right. Check your inbox: your snapshot covers the timeline, the forms, and the traps that catch people who "should have been fine."

Why check now

Renouncing is permanent. The tax mistakes are too.

Every year, thousands of Americans give up citizenship. The ones who plan ahead pay a fee. The ones who don't can trigger a tax on everything they own — as if they sold it all the day before leaving.

Who's behind this

Built by someone who knows this road.

CPA

"I've spent 25 years as a CPA handling international tax for Americans abroad — and I've watched too many people pay thousands just to learn where they stand. The rules are published. The math is knowable. There's no reason getting a straight answer should cost $500 an hour. So I built the tool I kept wishing my clients could use first."

Common questions

Before you ask

Is this tax or legal advice?

No. This is education — plain-English explanations of published IRS rules so you can have smarter conversations and make informed decisions. For advice on your specific situation, you'd engage a professional.

I'm not sure I'll actually renounce. Is this still for me?

Especially for you. Most people who run the check are 1–3 years from a decision. Knowing your number early is what creates options — some people discover they should wait, others that they should move faster.

What happens to my email?

You get your snapshot immediately, then one genuinely useful email a week about the exit process. Unsubscribe anytime. Your email is never sold or shared.

How accurate is a 3-question check?

It screens you against the three official IRS tests for "covered expatriate" status — the same first questions any advisor would ask. It's a starting point, not a filing. The full toolkit (coming soon) goes much deeper.

Sixty seconds. Three questions.
One number that changes your planning.
