We're just trying to get Jimmer more money, we don't want to break laws -

I live in Canada and still file US income taxes every year. Only country that requires that.

US tax treaties only apply if you pay more taxes in the country of residence

As long as you are US Citizen you owe income taxes. If there is a treaty you may get credit for foreign taxes paid.

Baron

While the US still holds you accountable. It's a lot easier to just not pay.

Sure, if you want the IRS to seize your assets and send you to prison.

I'm not sure about how this works exactly, but I had two friends working overseas
