David Enterline, Esq., speaks at EB-5 Seminar in Jakarta, Indonesia

Enterline and Partners Consulting Managing Partner David Enterline spoke at an EB-5 seminar in Jakarta, Indonesia on May 25, 2019. David was invited to attend by one of the oldest and most successful EB-5 regional centers. The event was sponsored by one of the largest immigration consulting companies in South East Asia.

Traditionally, Indonesia has not been a large market for EB-5 investors with only 65 EB-5 visas having been issued between fiscal year 2010 to fiscal year 2018 (see chart). At an estimated average of 3 visas per investor-family, this would indicate about 22 investors over these last 9 years. Even with the holy month of Ramadan and political unrest following Indonesian’s Presidential election, with 30 people in attendance it was a positive turnout and shows the country is a potential growth market for Indonesian’s seeking to obtain U.S. permanent residence and green cards via the EB-5 immigrant investor visa.

Delinquent U.S. Taxpayers in Southeast Asia

While living in the Southeast Asian region, it’s easy to forget about U.S. tax obligations, especially if the taxpayer’s income is deemed “minimal.” Let’s first re-visit our tax filing requirements, where an excerpt is noted right on the last page of one’s U.S. Passport, “All U.S. Citizens working and residing abroad are required to file and report on their worldwide income. Consult IRS Publication 54 …” Tax practitioners may use the standard deduction as the filing threshold. For tax year 2024, single status filers can claim up to $14,600 as a standard deduction. Therefore, if one can maintain and produce supporting documentation that the tax year’s income is below the standard deduction threshold, the taxpayer may opt to not file a U.S. Income Tax Return. However, it’s good practice to still file a tax return to show the U.S. Internal Revenue Service that your income is below the standard deduction

Federal Court of Appeals Rules Against Trump’s EO Ending Birthright Citizenship

A Federal Court of Appeals handed the Trump Administration another blow in its fight to redefine the 14th Amendment ending birthright citizenship through Executive Order (“EO”). The San Francisco-based Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the Administration’s request for an emergency order putting on hold a nationwide ban issued by Seattle-based Judge John Coughenour last month who found the EO blatantly unconstitutional. Judge Coughenour decision was swiftly followed by Judge Deborah Boardman’s decision in Maryland who also ruled that the EO needed to be stopped. While the Trump Administration argued that Judge Coughenour’s ruling went too far, a three-judge panel disagreed and scheduled the case for arguments in June. U.S. Circuit Judge Danielle Forrest, whom Trump appointed during his first term, said that a rapid decision would risk eroding public confidence in judges who must “reach their decisions apart from ideology or political preference.” The other judges on the panel,

U.S. Taxes for Americans Abroad

A common concern raised by our clients departing the United States to reside abroad is what do they need to do about U.S. taxes. Furthermore, there are several misconceptions and misunderstandings that permeate the American expatriate community about U.S. taxes; especially about filing thresholds and some exclusion amounts. Allow us to provide insights — answers to address these questions and clarify the misconceptions. U.S. taxes are the financial backbone of the U.S. economy. The tax system is essential to financing the activities of the federal, state and municipal governments including infrastructure, healthcare, education, military and consular services. Indeed, now a cliché, founding father Benjamin Franklin once said, “nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.” Another notable thing about U.S. taxes is that an excerpt is noted right on the last page of one’s U.S. Passport, “All U.S. Citizens working and residing abroad are required to file
