233 - Taxes for Digital Nomads Part I - Foreign Earned Income Exclusion

On today's episode of the podcast, I kick off my three part Digital Nomad Tax Series. Part I dives into the foreign earned income exclusion. 

When I started my business, I started writing a book and considered moving into the digital nomad tax space. Overtime I decided that was not the direction I wanted to move in to and leaned into the creative entrepreneur space instead. Throughout the last few years though I have spoken to digital nomad groups and have experience with it. 

I turned the book I started into a five part blog series you can read here.

This episode is for U.S. citizens living and working abroad. For tax purposes, under most rules, Green Card holders are treated as U.S. citizens, so this guide should prove useful for these individuals as well.

It's important to note the general rule regarding U.S. tax is that U.S. citizens are taxed on their worldwide income.
