The United States Government has Bi-Lateral agreements (also known as Totalization Agreements) with a number of countries for US citizens working overseas to avoid paying dual U.S. and foreign Social Security taxes. 

It is your responsibility to know and understand the laws that pertain to you in your country of service. We highly recommend getting tax guidance from a local accountant who knows the laws of their land. US tax professionals are generally not able to assist with foreign-owed taxes.

If you are in a country that has a Totalization agreement, it is likely you will need to submit a certificate of coverage stating that you are paying Social Security to the US government.

If you need assistance from Reliant in obtaining a certificate of coverage - please email your request to international@reliant.org.

Please allow 2-3 weeks for Reliant to process your request and additional time for the SSA to respond.
