the ~$100k not living in the USA tax deduction that the US gives you Could you provide more details? I tried Googling for it, and I could only find: You can also claim an additional exclusion from your U.S. taxes in excess of the $91,500, if the rent, utilities, etc. you pay on your residence abroad and other living expenses exceed a standard amount (which is currently approx $13,300 per year) established by the IRS. This exclusion only comes into play when your earnings are in excess of the $91,500 foreign income exclusion. Is this it?
