Fortunately, the IRS provides relief from the burden of double taxation for those who qualify by way of a foreign-earned income exclusion and/or foreign tax credit. The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion allows an individual to exclude up to $102,100 (for 2020) of foreign-earned income from their taxable base in the United States. Furthermore, if eligible for such exemption one may also obtain a foreign tax credit for all or part of any non-U.S. taxes paid on income excluded under the FEC exclusion rules.
