How much US tax do I have to pay working for a foreign company as a US citizen?

Submitted by on March 8, 2010 – 1:48 pmNo Replies


A web user asks, I am aware that I have to pay US income tax if my income exceeds certain amount even if I work for a foreign company in a foreign country and pay tax and social security of this country

My question is how much do I have to pay US tax after I already paid high income tax and social security in this foreign country. For example, if I would earn 100,000Euro/year in Germany, I am married with no kids and spouse has no job. How does US tax law apply to this situation? Based on what amount do I have to pay US tax? What kind of expenses could be written off for US tax?

Can you help them out? Post your advice!
