Hello, I am knew to this forum and I apologize in advance if I am posting in the wrong area.
We plan to return to live in Ireland next year (2018) permanently. I moved to the U.S in the 80's and since have become a citizen of both countries. We are planning to refinance a rental property that we own and use the equity (approx $150000) to help buy a house in Ireland. We want to take advantage of the favorable Euro/USD exchange rates that are available at the moment. We are wondering would there be any taxes owed either in the U.S or Ireland when we exchange the money?
