Possibly. It is often very difficult to entirely remove oneself from the U.S. tax system, but with proper exit planning the associated tax bite can be avoided or minimized through the use of trusts and asset transfers. Careful exit planning should be undertaken before a green card is turned in or citizenship is renounced.
Client Testimonials
Overall, it was a great experience with Mr. Klasing. The reservation process is simple and straightfoward. During our appointment, Mr. Klasing seemed to really care about our situation. Intelligence with grace and thoughtfulness come to mind. Don't hesitate to initiate an appointment with him.
I've worked with David a number of times, most recently to get consultation on how to structure LLCs for my real estate portfolio. On all occasions David's knowledge and experience truly shows up and the advice he has given to me has benefited me in many areas of my financial life. I've also known David as a friend for over 20 years and have always found him to be an extremely hard-working man of integrity and strong ethics. I would recommend him to anyone.
Mr. Klasing was incredibly responsive and helpful. I had several questions related to my tax fillings and was able to be scheduled in less than 24 hours. In less than 10 minutes he had answered every one of my questions, put my mind at ease, and we even had a few laughs. He then proceeded to refund me the majority of the fee. If I ever find myself in need of a CPA and/or tax attorney, I will not hesitate to contact him again.
"I had concerns over a potential tax matter and wanted to speak with an expert. Mr. Klasing was very knowledgeable and helpful, and cleared up my concerns during our consultation.

Mr. Klasing was very straightforward and easy to talk with on the phone. He seems like a very trustworthy individual and is willing to offer solitions and help you solve problems without any pressure to hire him as legal counsel. He does not intimidate or use scare tactics to get you to hire him. -Justin
Thank you, Dave Klasing and Team! We highly recommend this firm. Mr. Klasing was simply excellent along with Suzanne. Mr. Klasing met us late on a Monday night, and when we left we knew we had found a solid attorney and CPA. During the process and at conclusion, he was correct and handled everything for us. We not only recommend his services, but if the need presented itself we would not hesitate to use his firm again. -06/09/2023
I have a unique tax situation relating to a real estate sale involving a nonresident alien owner. I couldn't find any lawyer or CPA to even point me in the right direction on how best to do things legally and pay little tax as possible. Dave himself has never encountered such a case (he's honest), but he did the digging and found some very useful information for me. Dave was very professional and easy to communicate with. I am pleased with the advice and service I received. -05/07/2020
I needed advice for how to best treat international income, and not only did David squarely and reassuringly address that area of inquiry, but he also guided me through pension consideration and real estate investment considerations that came to mind during the conversation. He was very generous with his time and I would absolutely recommend him for a consultation. No sales talk, just straight advice.
Took a chance at a 10 minute consult and was extremely impressed. Atty Klasing, is an honest attorney who gave me great legal advice. Highly recommend for any Tax law question. Mine was about classification of employees and he set me straight. Also, spoke to his assistant James who gave me further info at no extra charge. Nice to see such hard working good-ole boys doing such a great service for the community.
