https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/foreign-earned-income-exclusion https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/fore... I'm not familiar with the Puerto Rico situation, but elsewhere, some (likely significant) portion of your foreign-earned income may be excluded from your US tax burden. For most people who earn money abroad this means that while you must file taxes, you likely don't pay anything to the US Gov't on foreign-earned income. I find the whole taxation-by-citizenship thing ludicrous and coupled with the separate Foreign Bank Account Reporting for accounts having more than $10k taxes are a headache for Americans living abroad.
