What happens to my 401k if I move abroad? A guide for US expats

Moving overseas can make retirement planning feel fuzzy very quickly. The good news is that your Roth IRA usually does not disappear just because you leave the US. In most cases, you can keep the account, keep the investments in place, and decide later whether it makes sense to leave it where it is, roll it over, or take money out. That is the sh...

In plain English, double taxation means the same income is taxed twice – either by two jurisdictions or at two levels, such as the company level and the shareholder level. That is what double taxation means. People also call it doubl...
