I am an American who has moved to Japan. I have owned stock since before moving to Japan. I moved here several years ago, and kept my stock without realizing any of the gains. This year, however, I realized some of the gains.
The company I use to buy and sell stock is based in America. Do I pay capital gains taxes in the US? I've heard conflicting reports. I've been told that I would pay in the US, but I don't know how to do this. Especially since I have no income in the US.
Another issue is I am married, and since my spouse and I got married in Japan, and have never been to the US, she has no social security number.
Anyway anyone who has any information they can help with, or someplace I could go for information, please tell me!
