Alright, so it's after April 15 and I'm sure everyone would rather forget about this subject, but I'm trying to figure out how I can go cruising before retirement age and have a specific question for the folks on this board.
Being a US citizen I know I have to file taxes every year whether I'm in the states or not, and I assume most if not all other US cruisers actually do it. My question is how do you do it?
The reason for my question is I am a CPA and have thought about this as a potential income source while cruising. I'd be able to offer tax services such as preparation, filing and some planning to cruisers in-situ so you don't have to worry about your CPA at home getting them done, and I would have a better eye on what issues would effect cruisers. I'd probably do it cheaper than most as well since I wouldn't have to have things like an office, secretary staff, etc. Would that even interest anyone in the cruising community, or am I going down a futile path here?
Thanks for any input you may have, if this is possible, it may make my dream a reality sooner.
