That only applies to a subset of countries that the US has an agreement with.
- DrJokepu 10y agoThe situation is way more complicated than what can be discussed in a HN comment. When it comes to things like social security taxes, the taxation of US-sourced income etc., double taxation treaties can help a lot, but generally speaking no tax treaty is required to claim foreign tax credit.
