Citizenship and status

What is your U.S. status?

U.S. citizens and Green Card holders can remain within the U.S. tax system even while living abroad.

Please select one answer.

Italian presence

How many days do you expect to spend in Italy in 2026?

Italian domestic residence can arise when statutory connecting factors exist for most of the tax period. Fractions of days and individual facts can matter.

Enter a number between 0 and 366.

United States presence

Enter your U.S. days of presence

The tool applies the standard three-year Substantial Presence Test formula. Special visas and excluded days are not calculated here.

Weighted total: 0 days. The standard test also requires at least 31 days in 2026.

Enter valid numbers between 0 and 366 in all three fields.

Registration

Which Italian registration statement best describes you?

Registration is relevant, but it does not replace analysis of the individual’s actual circumstances.

Please select one answer.

Home

Will you have a home continuously available in Italy?

Ownership is not required. A rented or otherwise available home may also be relevant.

Please select one answer.

Personal connections

Where will your spouse, partner or dependent family primarily live?

Family location can be an important personal connecting factor, but it is never the only fact considered.

Please select one answer.

Work and business

Where will you mainly perform your work or manage your business?

Physical working location may affect individual residence, payroll, social security and permanent-establishment exposure.

Please select one answer.

Financial reporting

Will you hold financial accounts or investments outside the United States?

U.S. persons may have FBAR, Form 8938 or other reporting obligations. Different forms use different definitions and thresholds.

Please select one answer.

Entities and structures

Do you own or control a company, LLC, partnership or trust?

Cross-border classification, CFC, trust and information-reporting rules can apply even when the entity has little or no activity.

Please select one answer.

Timing

When is the move or residence change expected?

Pre-move planning is usually most effective before transactions, registrations and changes in habitual living arrangements occur.

Please select one answer.

Preliminary result

Cross-border review recommended

This is a screening result, not a determination of tax residence or professional advice.

Italian indicatorsReview required
U.S. indicatorsReview required

    A treaty tie-breaker may resolve residence for certain treaty purposes when both countries treat an individual as resident, but U.S. citizenship, Green Card status, saving-clause rules and information reporting can continue to matter.

    What the checker examines

    Three systems that must be read together.

    Days are important, but cross-border residence rarely turns on a single number. The tool identifies where a more detailed analysis may be needed.

    I.

    Domestic residence

    Italian and U.S. domestic rules use different connecting factors. Citizenship and immigration status can also affect the U.S. result.

    II.

    Treaty residence

    When both systems claim residence, the U.S.–Italy treaty may require analysis of permanent home, vital interests, habitual abode and nationality.

    III.

    Reporting exposure

    Residence is only one issue. Accounts, companies, trusts, property and investments can create separate filing obligations.

    Consultation Options

    Move from screening to an individual review.

    A questionnaire must be completed before an appointment is confirmed.
