minus-squareaphonefriend@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoWhere did you go? And how do you not pay fed taxes working for an American company? Or is it a foreign company?
minus-squarethelastknowngod@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year agoGeorgia (the country) and Turkey mostly. Qualifying for the FEIE (stay out of America for 330 days per year) means you don’t pay taxes on the first $120k you earn. Maxing out the 401k ($22,500) will reduce taxable income as well so it’s really like the first $142,500 is tax free. I work for an American company as a W2 employee.
