Green card abandonment and continuing LLC ownership
I am considering abandoning my U.S. green card and moving back to my home country. I own a U.S. LLC that generates significant income. Can I continue to own my LLC after giving up my green card? What are the tax implications of this transition, and are there any exit tax requirements? I want to plan this carefully to minimize unexpected tax liabilities.
