Does a US citizen pay Federal Income Tax when residing out of the country?


This would be for a period of 1- 3 years. And if so, is it the same rate?

US citizens are subject to income tax on world-wide income regardless of where they live.

Prior to 2006, the first $80K (approximately) of foreign income earned while living in a foreign country was exempt from US income tax. However, you may still be required to file a return even if taxes were not owed.

In 2006, the foreign earned income exemption changed, and the last $87,500 of income is taxed. If you earned more than $87,500, you are going to owe tax, and much more tax than in previous years.

In all years, taxes you paid to a foreign country can be credited against your US taxes, or taken as an itemized deduction.

So, the rates are quite different for foreign and domestic earned income.
