Gerard LoSardo Calls for Greater Awareness Around Global Mobility Tax Complexity

Gerard LoSardo, CPA and founder of Gerard LoSardo & Associates in Absecon, New Jersey, is urging professionals and employers to better understand how modern work patterns create unseen tax complexity.

ABSECON, NJ / ACCESS Newswire / February 3, 2026 /Gerard LoSardo, CPA, is raising awareness around a growing issue facing today 's workforce: the tax complexity created by cross-border work, multi-state travel, and long-term compensation arrangements.

As remote work, international assignments, and flexible executive pay structures become more common, LoSardo says many individuals and organizations underestimate how quickly tax obligations can multiply.

"Work has changed faster than the systems around it, " LoSardo said. "People move, travel, and earn income across borders more than ever before, but many still assume taxes are simple. "

A Growing Issue Hiding in Plain Sight

According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 30% of employed adults engaged in some form of remote or hybrid work in recent years. At the same time, global mobility programs continue to expand as companies recruit talent internationally.

Multi-state work alone can trigger filing requirements in several jurisdictions. International assignments may add foreign reporting, payroll coordination, and tax equalization issues.

"These aren 't edge cases anymore, " LoSardo said. "They 're becoming normal. "

Industry studies estimate that errors tied to mobility-related payroll and reporting can cost employers thousands of dollars per employee per year when compliance gaps occur.

Lessons From Inside Global Tax

LoSardo spent more than a decade advising executives and multinational employers inside global tax practices. His experience showed him how easily complexity builds over time.

"Most problems don 't start big, " he said. "They start with one move, one bonus, one stock grant, or one travel pattern that isn 't fully tracked. "

He notes that multi-year compensation arrangements, such as deferred bonuses and equity awards, often span multiple tax years and locations.

"When people change roles or locations, the compensation keeps following them, " LoSardo said. "That 's where things get layered. "

Why Awareness Matters Now

As workforces become more mobile, awareness becomes a form of risk management.

According to IRS data, international information return penalties alone can reach $10,000 per form, per year, for certain filing failures. Multi-state mismatches can also lead to delayed refunds, notices, and audits.

"Awareness doesn 't mean fear, " LoSardo said. "It means paying attention early. "

He believes individuals benefit from understanding how their work patterns interact with tax systems, even before formal issues arise.

"Knowing what questions to ask is powerful, " he said.

What Individuals Can Do

LoSardo encourages people to take ownership of their own awareness by staying informed and organized.

"Track where you work, " he said. "Understand how you 're paid. And don 't assume last year looks like this year. "

He also points to the value of documentation.

"Good records tell your story, " LoSardo said. "Without them, someone else ends up telling it for you. "

Looking Ahead

LoSardo sees education and awareness as ongoing needs, not one-time conversations.

"The tax world follows behavior, " he said. "As behavior changes, understanding has to change with it. "

By encouraging clearer conversations around mobility, compensation, and reporting, he hopes individuals and organizations alike can better navigate today 's work environment.

Call to Action

Individuals who work across states or borders are encouraged to educate themselves on how mobility affects tax reporting, review their compensation structures, and stay informed as work patterns evolve.

"Complexity doesn 't go away when you ignore it, " LoSardo said. "But clarity starts with attention. "
