US Expat Tax by Country
Americans abroad still owe US tax on worldwide income. The tools to avoid double taxation — the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE, $132,900 for 2026), the Foreign Tax Credit (Form 1116), and the foreign housing exclusion — work very differently depending on your country's tax regime and its treaty status with the US.
