I am an American with residency in Italy(am here more than 300 days /year) working for a US company based in California, running a study abroad program for US universities. I pay Medicare and Social Security taxes in the US but am exempt for Federal taxes(which I have withheld) and then get back at tax time. I have looked over a document regarding the tax agreement between the US and Italy, but was not able to make complete sense of it.
Main issue is: Am I responsible for taxes in Italy? Technically I do not pay taxes(other than Social Security and Medicare), since I get it all back since I earn less than the established amount, I think around 80,000 USD/year.
Any help, or info on some sources to learn more would be appreciated.
