先确定何时可能成为美国税务居民
移民身份与税务居民身份有关联，但并非所有人的起算日都能用一句“拿到绿卡那天”概括。绿卡测试、实质居留测试、首次年度规则、家庭成员不同到达时间及可能适用的条约，都可能影响申报。第一步应由专业人士画出每位家庭成员的税务时间线。
做一份全球资产清单
不要只列银行余额。中国公司股权、合伙权益、房产、证券账户、基金、保险、信托、借款、代持、数字资产和未来应收款都应纳入。清单至少记录持有人、取得成本、当前价值、所在地、预计处置时间及可获得的历史凭证。资产清单也是判断后续申报义务的基础。
交易发生在何时可能很重要
出售房产、企业分红、股权转让、债务豁免、家庭赠与或重组，在成为美国税务居民之前或之后发生，可能产生不同结果。但“提前做”并不天然节税：交易所在地的税费、真实性、估值、关联交易、中国监管、美国反避税规则和移民资金证明都要同时考虑。
成本基础证据要提前保存
未来出售中国房产、股权或证券时，历史成本和改良支出会影响计算。多年后再寻找购房合同、付款凭证、装修发票、股权出资和税费记录，往往非常困难。即便目前没有出售计划，也应扫描保存原件，并让税务专业人士确认还缺哪些证据。
不要让“节税”破坏移民证据
临近申请时突然转股、赠与或改变企业控制权，可能影响EB-1C/L-1A的合格关系，也可能让EB-5资金来源更加复杂。任何重大资产动作，都应同时让移民律师看到。税务顾问和移民律师各自正确的建议，如果缺少协调，组合起来仍可能产生问题。
一次规划不等于永久答案
税法、家庭居住地、资产价值和公司经营都会变化。建议在递交移民申请前、预计成为税务居民前、首次报税前分别复核。TIHU可以帮助整理跨境事实和专业协作节点，但具体税务结论与申报必须由具备相应资格的CPA或税务律师提供。
Note for applicants based in China
Applicants based in China usually also need to handle three things: keeping Chinese- and English-language documents consistent, making sure funds and income can be explained with independent documentation, and managing the gap between priority-date timing and a child's age. Any packaging that doesn't match the underlying facts creates greater risk at the RFE or interview stage.
