Hello,
Thank you very much for all the information. I have a very peculiar situation and I would like to see if you can help me.
I left Brazil with my husband in August 2023. We intend to stay abroad for 2 years (he has a temporary job), and we're not sure what will happen afterwards, whether we'll want to return or not. I haven't received any income abroad until then, only him. Questions:
1- From what I've read, my husband needs to report and declare his departure from Brazil, otherwise he could be taxed on the amounts acquired abroad, right?
2- I would very much like to keep my BB account, as I have savings and situations where I need to make small (very small) transactions. Could I NOT declare my withdrawal, and do my individual income tax return normally, while he will declare the withdrawal?
3- If I decide to do what I said in item 2, and perhaps only declare my departure the following year when I sort out my life, am I doing something illegal that could have consequences?
Additional information: we intend to visit Brazil within the next year; we got married last year and have never filed a joint income tax return.
Thank you very much in advance.
