IRS Issues Tax Dues Deadline Reminder for US Citizens Living Abroad
Taxpayers living and working abroad must file their tax year 2024 returns and pay off dues by June 16, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) said in a May 22
'U.S. citizens or resident aliens residing overseas or in the military on duty outside the U.S. are allowed a two-month extension to file from the normal April 15 deadline. Since June 15 falls on a Sunday in 2025, the deadline is delayed to Monday, June 16,' the agency said. The June deadline is also applicable to those with dual citizenship.
An automatic extension is granted to taxpayers if they live and do business outside the United States and Puerto Rico. An extension is also automatically granted to taxpayers in military or naval service who are on duty outside the United States and Puerto Rico.
When filing returns, taxpayers must attach a statement clarifying which of these two situations applies to them.
If taxpayers cannot file by June 16, they can request an automatic extension that can postpone the filing date to Oct. 15.
'However, an extension of time to file is not an extension to pay,' the IRS said. 'Interest will apply to any 2024 tax payments received after April 15, 2025.'

'There is no required action for you to receive the exclusion. Each military organization will automatically certify your entitlement by excluding reportable income on your W-2. If you believe you are entitled, and your W-2 reflects your full, unadjusted annual pay and benefits, contact your military pay office to issue a corrected W-2,' the IRS advises.
The agency reminded taxpayers abroad that all incomes received and deductible expenses paid in foreign currencies must be reported in U.S. dollars on their returns. All tax payments must also be in dollars.
Penalties
Taxpayers whose deadline fell on April 15 and have not yet filed returns or paid taxes should immediately consider filing and paying off dues as the IRS charges interest and penalties in such cases.

'If both a failure to pay and a failure to file penalty are applied in the same month, the failure to file penalty will be reduced by the amount of the failure to pay penalty applied in that month,' the IRS said.
'For example, instead of a 5 percent failure to file penalty for the month, we would apply a 4.5 percent failure to file penalty and a 0.5 percent failure to pay penalty.'

Asian shares shoot higher as US stocks inch toward their records
Shares advanced Wednesday in Asia after U.S. stocks drifted closer to their records, while U.S. futures edged lower. South Korea's Kospi led gains in the region, jumping 2.4% to 2,763.32 after the liberal opposition candidate Lee Jae-myung was elected president. Lee's victory caps months of political turmoil triggered by the stunning but brief imposition of martial law by the now-ousted conservative leader Yoon Suk Yeol. Top priorities will include government spending and trade negotiations with the United States. 'Regardless of his political roots, boosting growth will be a key challenge. Even before President Trump's tariffs hit exports, the economy contracted by 0.2% quarter on quarter, seasonally adjusted, in the first three months of the year. The figures highlighted fragile business activity and private consumption,' Min Joo Kang of ING Economics said in a report. Tokyo's Nikkei 225 index surged 1% on gains for technology and pharmaceutical companies. Toyota Motor Corp.'s shares rose 2% after it announced it was buying Toyota Industries Corp., a maker of auto parts and lift trucks, for $33 billion and taking it private. Toyota Industries' shares tumbled 12.5%. Chinese shares were modestly higher. The Hang Seng in Hong Kong added 0.6% to 23,650.12, while the Shanghai Composite index gained 0.3% to 3,372.85. Taiwan's Taiex climbed 2.1%. Investors were watching for updates on President Donald Trump's tariffs, including the imposition of 50% tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum due to take effect Wednesday. With industries lobbying for him to expand that protection to products made from those materials, analysts say prices of many basic items will likely rise. On Tuesday, the S&P 500 rose 0.6% and was less than 3% away from its all-time high set earlier this year, at 5,970.37. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.5% to 42,519.64. The Nasdaq composite rose 0.8% to 19,398.96. Dollar General jumped 15.8% for one of the market's bigger gains after reporting stronger profit and revenue for the start of the year than analysts expected. Many companies have cut or withdrawn their financial forecasts for the upcoming year because of the uncertainty caused by Trump's on-again-off-again rollout of tariffs. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development said on Tuesday that it's forecasting 1.6% growth for the U.S. economy this year, down from 2.8% last year. A report on Tuesday morning showed U.S. employers were advertising more job openings at the end of April than economists expected, the latest signal that the labor market remains resilient. It set the stage for a more important report coming on Friday, which will show how much hiring and firing U.S. employers did in May. On the trade front, hopes are still high on Wall Street that Trump will reach trade deals with other countries that will ultimately lower tariffs, particularly with the world's second-largest economy. The U.S. side said President Donald Trump was expecting to speak with Chinese leader Xi Jinping this week. A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said Tuesday that they had no information on that. Tech stocks helped lead the way again as Nvidia rose 2.9%, and Broadcom climbed 3.3%. The chip companies have recovered their sharp losses from earlier this year borne amid worries their stock prices had shot too high. Treasury yields held relatively steady following the encouraging report on the U.S. job market. It's a cooldown from a sharp rise for yields over the last two months. Yields had been climbing in part on worries about how the U.S. government may be set to add trillions of dollars to its debt through tax cuts. Higher Treasury yields make it more expensive for U.S. households and businesses to borrow money and can discourage investors from paying high prices for stocks and other investments. In other dealings early Wednesday, U.S. benchmark crude oil lost 19 cents to $63.22 per barrel. Brent crude, the international standard, fell 16 cents to $65.47 per barrel. The U.S. dollar fell to 143.86 Japanese yen from 144.00 yen. The euro rose to $1.1383 from $1.1370. ___ AP Business Writers Matt Ott and Stan Choe contributed.

European markets set to open higher, shrugging off Trump's 50% metals tariffs
Bank of England and the Royal Exchange in the City of London on 24th March 2025 in London, United Kingdom. Mike Kemp | In Pictures | Getty Images Good morning from London. This is CNBC's live blog covering all the action in European financial markets on Wednesday, as well as business news, analysis, earnings and data. Futures data from IG on Wednesday morning suggests London's FTSE will open 6 points higher at 8,788, Germany's DAX up 56 points at 24,135, France's CAC 40 up 20 points at 7,780 and Italy's FTSE MIB 60 points higher at 40,155. U.S. tariffs are once again in focus on Wednesday after President Donald Trump said last week that he will double tariffs on steel imports from 25% to 50% on June 4. The European Union criticized the hike, saying such a move "undermines" its trade deal negotiations with the U.S. An EU spokesperson said that the bloc was "prepared to impose countermeasures." Nonetheless, analysts say European steel buyers and some manufacturers could benefit from the higher metals tariffs as they could put downward pressure on steel prices in the region. — Holly Ellyatt People walk in front of the Polish Central Bank (NBP) in Warsaw, Poland, September 25, 2023.

Poland's central bank will also be announcing its latest monetary policy decision on Wednesday. — Holly Ellyatt Asia-Pacific markets advanced overnight, boosted by a tech rally on Wall Street that was led by chipmaker Nvidia on Tuesday. Shares in the artificial intelligence darling advanced nearly 3%, extending Monday's gains and driving Nvidia's market cap past Microsoft's for the first time since January. Chip companies Broadcom and Micron Technology rose more than 3% and 4%, respectively.

Meanwhile, U.S. stock futures were little changed early Wednesday after the S&P 500 notched a second straight day of gains. The recent comeback rally has investors increasingly confident stocks have turned a corner on tariffs, especially after a series of reversals from President Donald Trump convinced traders the White House is mainly wielding high levies as a negotiating tool. A federal court striking down Trump's tariffs just last week added to hopes the market has priced in the worst of the tariffs, though they were later reinstated temporarily by an appeals court. — Holly Ellyatt, Sarah Min and
