US citizens note: The US taxes citizens on worldwide income. Even abroad, you file US taxes. The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) can exclude up to $126,500/yr of earned income. Investment income remains fully US-taxable. These estimates show the local tax burden in each country β€” your actual US obligation depends on income type and tax treaties.
