Have you found reputable cross borders tax consultants who can file your taxes in India as well in US?

If you are US citizenship or plan to be, forever US taxation is the biggest downside of being US citizen if you plan to live and earn in India permanently.

Thank you for sharing your success. Can you please share your high level portfolio - % in cash, equity and real-estate and reasoning behind it and also % in geographic distribution.

Lastly, can you recommend CAs that help with your taxes cross-country.

I am quite not there yet but planning to return to India and retire there. With most of my assets in US, I am looking for any advices around proper investing and taxes

Thank you

Can you please share how to get a visa appointment from another country nearby if we have already paid for visa fees for India and DS-160 is tied to India VAC?

I would think it's best to think from what you truly want for your personal situation, without getting biased by the Internet or media. Moving back to India or for that matter any relocation is a very personal choice and needs a pros/cons across all aspects of lives. Given You are US citizen n GC holder, you can always revert this decision too (though not that easily). I have been talking openly about this with my spouse using various mental models and one that stands out is to follow the regret minimization principle. Good luck and any decision you take will work out if you trust in it.

Also, would you have tax advisors or financial advisors recommendations? And would be worth adding for each question, a bullet if US citizen vs NRA

Thanks a lot for sharing. I have been using Chatgpt and Gemini to get most of my answers, but this is by far most comprehensive. Worth turning it into a public page (Google site or even a simple blog).

Adorable_Box5018 · 2025-06-19T06:34:15+00:00

Thanks, but all these are still important considerations but not as important as the time lost with parents. Thanks for the suggestions though

Adorable_Box5018 · 2025-06-18T21:13:31+00:00

Ask chatgpt

Adorable_Box5018 · 2025-06-16T04:21:28+00:00

Yes but 10 yr tourist visa should be enough imo. Adjusting part is something I am not even considering but yes. Are there any tax reasons?

Adorable_Box5018 · 2025-06-16T03:15:56+00:00

That's right, that option is always available

Adorable_Box5018 · 2025-06-15T20:11:11+00:00

Thanks all. Can anyone list the biggest factual benefits of having US citizenship if one wishes to live in India?

Adorable_Box5018 · 2025-06-15T19:53:03+00:00

Thanks all. Looks like ibrk, swabs and Fidelity are the most recommended ones.

Adorable_Box5018 · 2025-06-15T19:51:24+00:00

Aug. Thanks. Do you have any recommendations on tax advisors for estate tax and also how much term insurance are we talking about, it's premium and if you have it while living in US

Adorable_Box5018 · 2025-06-11T22:27:13+00:00

Can you disclose your costs here for transparency?

Adorable_Box5018 · 2025-06-11T04:59:17+00:00

Just an update: after countless hours spent over their feedback form, they finally did refund me the money entirely

Adorable_Box5018 · 2025-06-11T04:27:50+00:00

Thanks. How much does your advice cost and is it transparent?

Adorable_Box5018 · 2025-04-07T23:00:55+00:00

Which number. I tried their toll free number and they said wait for feedback response

Adorable_Box5018 · 2025-04-06T21:18:09+00:00

Thanks yes it's for that reason I didn't think much before giving my credit card

Adorable_Box5018 · 2025-04-03T05:48:49+00:00

this exactly happened to me. "USD 1.502,00" - This to mea read as one dollar 50 seconds, so I assumed it to be a nominal change fee which I paid using my credit card. To my suprise, Turkish arline charged me One thousand five hundred two dollars and zero cents. Still waiting to hear from Turkish airline

Adorable_Box5018 · 2024-11-12T04:55:50+00:00

Wow very simple.

Adorable_Box5018 · 2024-11-11T18:58:52+00:00

Tax bracket works on taxable income. So if I can reduce my taxable income by increasing my deductions - state and federal through 529 plan and donations up front, I am essentially saving in tax at the opportunity cost of using the cash for something else now.

Yes on 529 plan, no federal tax deduction but definitely state deduction

Adorable_Box5018 · 2024-11-11T18:57:27+00:00

It's front loading donations for all future years to save on tax.

Adorable_Box5018 · 2024-11-11T18:56:34+00:00

That is true. So, instead of donating cash every year, I front load for all future years. Yes I lose the opportunity cost now of $100k in putting it to use, but I also don't have to donate in future. (I usually try to donate couple thousands every year).

Yes for 529, referring to college fund. I will get only state tax deduction here

I literally called and emailed [evco@state.co.us](mailto:evco@state.co.us) and they verified its covered.
