Here's How To Stop Overpaying U.S. Taxes as an Expat
The U.S. taxes its citizens on worldwide income, even if you live abroad. Without the right tax strategy, you could be paying more than necessary, facing double taxation, or missing key exclusions that legally reduce your tax liability.
How would you like to proceed?
Overview
At Nomadic Tax, we specialize in helping U.S. expats, remote workers, and digital entrepreneurs claim the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE), allowing you to legally exclude up to $130K+ from taxable income while staying IRS-compliant.
Our solution handles all required filings, including foreign account reports, foreign asset disclosures, and Housing Exclusions.
What is the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion?
The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) allows qualifying U.S. citizens and resident aliens living abroad to exclude a certain amount of their foreign-earned income from U.S. federal income tax. For the tax year 2025, the exclusion amount is $130,000.
Foreign Housing Exclusion
In addition to the FEIE, individuals may also qualify for the Foreign Housing Exclusion, which permits the exclusion of certain housing expenses from gross income. The eligible housing expenses are generally limited to 30% of the maximum FEIE amount, equating to $39,000 for 2025, though this limit can vary based on the location of your foreign tax home.

As a U.S. citizen or Green Card holder, you are required to file U.S. tax returns regardless of where you live. Expats and digital nomads must comply with IRS rules, including income exclusions, foreign tax credits, foreign account reports, and asset disclosure filings.
Missing years of U.S. tax returns or foreign account and asset reports can trigger serious IRS penalties, but the IRS offers formal catch-up programs for expats who come forward voluntarily. Nomadic Tax guides you through the process so you can resolve back filings without facing punishing fines.
If you are a resident of a country that permits Nomadic Flow and requires tax reporting to maintain compliance, this package ensures you meet local tax obligations while optimizing your tax structure.
