Any American citizens working remotely still have to pay US taxes.

  There are tax treaties with most (all?) countries whereby you receive a US tax credit. In the case of the UK I believe even National Insurance contributions can be counted towards Social Security.

    You receive some credits and deductions but the statement that "not a dime of the remote worker's income will reach american shores" is objectively and supremely false. The IRS brings in huge sums of money from Americans living abroad every year.

      I lived in London for 3 years and did not pay a dime to the IRS. That aside, your indignation over the quoted remark is misplaced since the GP was presumably talking about foreign nationals. So you're conflating two different points and then getting all self righteous about it.

  Isn't it above 1mln? (US citizen working in London told me he has to make the tax return, but he is not tax for anything below 1 000 000 $)

    No, it is $100k. That also only applies to income tax, not social security.

    It's $100,000 not 1m. Many countries have a tax treaty with the US so that you're not double-taxed, but instead pay the greater of the local rate or US rate.

  Not on the first $90k or so.
