To clarify, once again, for the double digit IQs on this board: If you are a US citizen, living in another country that 1) you don't earn income from 2) has no taxes on income earned outside the country 3) are self-employed, then you still own social security and medicare tax to the US via your Schedule SE form, even though the foreign earned income exclusion qualifies you to not be taxed on the first $85k of your income. /argument
>>77259 There's tons of stipulations to see if you qualify, but it's well worth it. You'd have the right of abode in Germany and freedom to enter the EU whenever you want for as long as you want. Check the nearest consulate or embassy for the procedure.
