Unlocking Tax Mysteries: Gabriel Morrow's Expat Experience
Jan 22, 2026 Season 2 Episode 63
Rob Valincius

Gabriel Morrow is an American expat living in Canada. We talk about how a missing IRS refund turned into a multi-year legal and tax battle. What began as an unpaid $1,800 tax refund escalated into identity theft flags, lost tax returns, and an unprecedented case involving a U.S. university-based low income tax clinic.

We dive into the realities of navigating the IRS from abroad, why Americans overseas often feel ignored by the U.S. tax system, and how citizenship-based taxation creates serious problems for expats. Gabriel also explains why residency-based taxation may be a better solution and how simple bureaucratic errors can spiral into major legal consequences.

This episode offers a firsthand look at U.S. expat taxation, IRS accountability, and the real impact of broken government systems.
