Deductions & credits

@j_master_flash , agreeing with my colleague @Mike9241 ,  that  in the situation that you describe and  for wages/ self-employment there is really no meaningful recourse.

If active income there is always the option of  Earned Income Exclusion but again that just eliminates US taxation  but also  US  taxes on the  unexcluded income is at a higher bracket.

If passive income, then there  is always  High Tax Kick Out  ( HTKO ) allowing the income to be treated as  general.

 Generally the Tax Treaty  allows for mitigation of  effects of double taxation by  reducing and/or eliminating US  tax burden -- that is all the US can do .

 

Please tell more about  (a) what type of income;   (b) source country of the income and  (c) your tax home country.

 

I will come back if   ( and  when ) you  provide the details -- it may not solve your fundamental issue  but .....
