U.S. expats have until June 15 to file and claim valuable tax credits like the CTC, EITC, and FTC. File now to reduce your tax bill or increase your refund.

(PRUnderground) April 24th, 2025

U.S. citizens living abroad still have time to file their 2024 federal tax returns, thanks to an automatic two-month extension granted to expatriates. While any taxes owed were due by April 15, the filing deadline for expats is June 15, allowing additional time to complete returns and claim important tax credits.

According to Expatriate Tax Returns, a firm specializing in U.S. tax compliance for expats, taxpayers who do not owe taxes face no penalties for filing after April 15. Even better, those expecting a refund have up to three years to claim it—but filing sooner means faster access to any refund due.

Tax Credits Expats Can Still Claim Before June 15

Expatriates may still be eligible for several powerful credits that directly reduce the amount of tax owed or even generate a refund:

• Child Tax Credit (CTC): Worth up to $2,000 per qualifying child under age 17.
• Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC): Designed for low- to moderate-income earners; eligibility varies by income and family size.
• Foreign Tax Credit (FTC): Helps offset taxes paid to another country and avoid double taxation—a key benefit for U.S. expats.
• Education Credits: Including the American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC) and Lifetime Learning Credit, these helps cover qualified tuition and education expenses.

“Tax credits reduce your liability dollar-for-dollar,” said a spokesperson from Expatriate Tax Returns. “In some cases, they’re refundable, which means expats may still receive a refund even if they don’t owe taxes.”

With the June 15 deadline approaching, expats are encouraged to review their eligibility for tax credits and file as soon as possible to avoid delays and maximize potential savings.
