Reply #16: They are exempt from US taxes. [View All]

[Warren Stupidity]

on income earned outside the us for up to whatever the level is. They may or may not be subject to income taxes on that income from whatever country they did earn it in, which is the point of the exemption. My brother has worked overseas for the last 30 years and has done quite well on the income tax side of things. The xenophobes generally do not care about this sort of equivalency though. To them there couldn't possibly be americans working abroad - all the good jobs are here.
