My best friend has been playing that loophole.

He's been living in Mexico for several years and he makes sure to not eclipse the threshold for number of days spent in the U.S. during the calendar year that would require him to pay federal income tax in the U.S. I told him maybe if he would vote differently he wouldn't have to try so hard to avoid paying high taxes. Honestly, it kind of burns me up that Americans can avoid paying taxes and still vote.

Can't answer your question directly, but might be worth the investment to..

Not sure that "loophole" exists.
HWA • 10/24/24 10:35 PM ET
Ha, well he is convinced it does. I guess we'll see if...
MP4VT2004 • 10/25/24 09:50 AM ET
Whole bunch of "loopholes" are really "nobody has enforced yet"
HWA • 10/25/24 10:29 AM ET
After reading that in more depth, I think the "loophole" is the FEIE.
MP4VT2004 • 10/25/24 10:51 AM ET
I'll have to ask him what he is basing his opinion on.

Your citizenship doesn't disappear because you move**
hoosnowahokie • 10/24/24 03:27 PM ET
I meant as far as what else is involved with living overseas **
GoobyPls • 10/24/24 03:55 PM ET
I would get in touch with the US EXPAT community there for answers.
EDGEMAN • 10/24/24 05:05 PM ET
As for phones...
EDGEMAN • 10/24/24 05:13 PM ET
In fact, it is nearly impossible to renounce US citizenship if you want to.**
