U.S. Citizens and U.S. Resident Aliens, both those who have a U.S. Green Card and those who meet the substantial presence test, are required to report and pay taxes on their worldwide income. However, generally, there are certain exceptions and exclusions under certain conditions.
To avoid double taxation, IRS provides three options:
(1) To Deduct foreign taxes on Schedule A, like other common deductions
(2) To use form 1116 to claim the foreign Tax credit
(3) To use Form 2555 to claim the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) to allow those that qualify to exclude some or all of their foreign earned Income from the US Taxes. The amount of Foreign earned Income exclusion is 112000.00 for 2022.
United States has Tax Treaties with Other Countries and these treaties may be relevant in certain situations for US Tax payers.
