I am working abroad for a foreign company and I am resident in a country with no bilateral ss/mc agreement with the USA.
I understand FEIE is going to be 126,500$ for 2024 (and hopefully continues to increase over the years), but do I need to pay into ss/mc for FEIE to apply? I was surprised by my CPA response whereas there is a specific page in the IRS website stating to the contrary, cit:
You're correct.
There is no need for a foreign employee working for a foreign employer to contribute to Social Security and Medicare to be eligible for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion.
Thank you, other than the link I posted is there additional guidance on the subject?
