American Citizens Abroad

ACA interfaces with U.S. government administrations and other agencies to educate these offices on the effects of U.S. legislation and regulations on U.S. citizens living and working overseas.

[2] ACA publishes regular news items for its members with information on new legislation, rules and events which affect U.S. citizens, whether living overseas or in the USA.

[3] ACA's web site also contains information on issues of concern to Americans overseas, including transmission of citizenship to children born abroad, taxation[4] and voting.

ACA has published a side-by-side comparative study of how changes in the current tax regime could be made to move to an RBT system of taxation.

[8][9] ACA endorses a Same Country Exception (SCE) for FATCA reporting for U.S. citizens living and working overseas whose in-country financial accounts should not be considered "foreign."

In order to finance this lobbying activity, ACA created a political action committee – the American Citizens Abroad, Inc. PAC (ACA-PAC).
