FUCKIN CLASSIC

the article is really just a joke about bad religion being older guys

not true. trump's 2020 numbers were largely the same as his 2024 numbers.

harris got 14,000,000 less votes than biden did in 2020.

man I'm not going to read all that garbage. the fact is, your tax professional who didn't know about the 2555 was an utter hack. someone else mentioning it to you is fortuitous for yourself, but its not the secret sacred hack you think it is. it's understood by everyone else I know that lives outside the US. if you were paying taxes on your income to the US under 125k its because you hired an incompetent to help you with your taxes, or can't read.

you're honestly a strange person.

so, ive lived outside of the US for over 15 years and have filed taxes where i live and back in the US, where I file the 1040 and the 2555, because you have to. You don't only fill out the 2555. I know a bunch of americans here and never once have I heard of the 2555 called a "FEIE Form" the way you're describing it.

You said "you don't pay tax on the first approx 125k", and I pointed out that you absolutely do pay tax, just not to the US, you pay to the government in the country where you're living. its not tax free, its just to the government of Australia or wherever you live instead of the US.

I also mentioned that people will pay tax on earned income under that 125k if youre in the states over 35 days, but that its prorated, so its not that you pay 100% of taxes all of a sudden, it's what you would pay divided by 330 (if you were one day over, or 329 if you were over by two days, etc.)

just trying to expand and clarify on your post. apparently its your area of complete expertise and anyone saying anything is just googling shit to bask in the glory of your genius, though. stay cool

you know, it's clear that you're trying to be helpful to folks, but you come off like an asshole. just an fyi!

I cannot imagine a future where trump doesnt turn on musk. i just cant see it

you wish you were a monster who exploited hundreds of thousands of people beneath you in order to hoard more money any person could ever spend like the dragons who sleep on piles of gold in the stories- the stories where every reader is rooting for the knight to stab the dragon in the soft underbelly? thats what you whish for?

yeah ok the 2555 is the FEIE you mentioned.

its important to note that if youre within the US for more than that 35 day exemption, you start to pay taxes pro-rata.

I think you agreed with what I said just using different words about paying taxes where you do live- yes, you pay them directly to the government where you are domicle.

pretty sure you have to fill out the 2555 as well bro

you also have to pay tax where you are domicile, aka where you live

REPENT, THE END IS EXTREMELY FUCKING NIGH

lol within a year or 2024?

I havent heard a peep a... oh its a star trek thing gotcha
