<prompt> Human: I am a US citizen working in France, I must be making a mistake because it looks like I owe no taxes anywhere. The US has the foreign earned income exclusion which says i owe no taxes in the US if I make less than 100 000, which is true. The French have a tax treaty with the US that says my area of work is exempt from French taxes if I work here for less than two years, which is true. Am I effectively exempt from taxes this year? Or am I misunderstanding something?Edit: My wife is a CPA and is confused by it too, she asked elsewhere on reddit for advice with the specifics. I am just wondering what other people think. Does this sound right?  <response>: Stranger things have happened. I had a client with I forget exactly how much income, but it was all qualified dividends and he owed absolutely nothing on like 40k. Triple check yourself on this one, foreign tax treaties can be tricky. They also get updated periodically and a good place to look for advice is if theres an embassy website. Did that for a German citizen in the US last year, they had some sort of exemption for their German pension.
