U.S. Citizen living abroad
I am a U.S. Citizen and have been living abroad for the last year (approx. 350 days) I own a significant portion of a company incorporated in China and work for this company. Thus, I am already paying taxes to China.
Does this mean that I am exempt from paying U.S. federal/state tax (I have no property, bank accounts, etc. in the U.S. although my son is goes to college in the U.S.) under the U.S-China tax treaty to avoid double taxation? Do I still need to file my taxes, and if so, what forms would I need to fill out?
Do I need to report any dividend, interests that I earn in China even if I already paid the appropriate taxes to China? Also, my foreign income is well over what can be excluded with the 2555 form, but once again I have already paid my tax for this in China.
Thank you in advance for any help
