First 80k you make in another country is tax free in the USA

Yeah, and when you're indicted for income tax evasion, you can tell the judge that some random anonymous guy on an internet poker forum said it was okay. LOL

um look it up on the IRS website. There appear to be some restrictions but basically he's right and you're not, which seems to be pretty common.

The guy making the tax evasion comment is an idiot and does not have a clue. Not only do you get an 80K exclusion but if you rent you get quite a bit of credit for that as well. I know these things for a fact because I have filed taxes for two years now living abroad. And I have a very good, conservative, accountant doing my taxes who understands 'offshore' issues.
