FrequentlyAsked Questions
Do U.S. digital nomads still pay U.S. taxes?
Yes. U.S. citizens and green card holders are taxed on worldwide income, even while living abroad. FEIE or the Foreign Tax Credit may reduce what you owe.
What is the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE)?
FEIE allows you to exclude up to $126,500 in 2024 from your U.S. taxable income if you meet residency or physical presence requirements.
Can I avoid state taxes as a digital nomad?
It depends. If you don’t formally change your domicile, your original state may still claim you as a resident. Many digital nomads forget this and get taxed twice.
What IRS forms do digital nomads need to file?
Most will file: Form 1040 (U.S. return)
Form 2555 (FEIE) or 1116 (FTC)
FinCEN 114 (FBAR)
Form 8938 (FATCA)
Schedule SE (if self-employed)
