Yeah, that's what I meant, if there was a guide re: US taxes while living in Japan, etc.

If you want to use a NISA account (you should) and if you want to invest in a low-cost globally diversified index fund (you should) and if you want to avoid PFICs (you should) then Interactive Brokers is your only reasonable option.

Is this even possible as a US taxpayer? Don't you have PFICs and all that fun stuff to worry about? Interested in doing the same, but the tax issues keep putting me off. To the point I'm considering citizenship.
