why: so the government won’t be able to use your money for whatever the fuck they’re planning for the next 4 years.

as a traveler, none of my money has been funding Israel, for example.

one-step method: you basically fill out one extra tax form called FEIE while you’re doing your taxes, write down the dates you were outside of the country, and then since you aren’t in the country and are not receiving any services from the US, you don’t have to pay income tax up to a certain amount (it’s a little over 125k this year).

    “These posts are always…”

    show me.

    I haven’t seen any other posts about the FEIE(except for mine earlier this year).

    “…it implies you were completely happy…”

    not at all, in fact, the post body specifically contradicts your implication.

    your “implication” is drawn entirely from your own flawed assumptions and unnecessary ignorance.

    “…now you want to talk about tax avoidance?”

    I’ve been talking about the feie for years, so in the future you might want to check yourself since you just wrecked yourself.

      You have to admit, he really destroyed that strawman version of you though.

        set his own shoelace on fire and then tied it to the scarecrow to set it ablaze.

        what a coup de gras!
