Now that tax time is approaching yet again, I can't help but wonder about the adverse affects of the Health Care Act. I have been living in Quito since Oct 12, 2013, with no trips to the U.S.
I have been looking at the website for Healthcare.gov and have failed to find any guidance for Expats... I feel that waiting until the last minute would be a serious problem, so I am now on a quest for viable information as to what Expats are to do in this situation.
I have been covered since arrival by my spouses work provided program, but the guide lines on the health Care website are pretty non-specific. I know a simple call to the IRS telling them my situation would be an exercise in futility.
You can apply for an exemption, but I can find none for Expats. If anyone else is looking into this situation I would greatly appreciate any and all, factual information pertaining to this subject.
If there are any tax savvy Expats out there please feel free to contact me directly by email to utilize your services. I will also post any professional assistance on this site for others to benefit from.
Thanks.
