US Citizen making US money while living in another country?

[dagreatone13]

I see many questions about a US citizen making foreign money while abroad, but its difficult to find the answer about a citizen still making US money. Overall, i'd like to know how the tax situation would work if I were to move to Brazil with my wife, but continue to work remotely for my current US located and based company. Brazil has no tax treaty with the US, so I wouldn't be protected as far as I know from double taxation. For this example, let's say I'd be making under 100k. I understand I'd still have to file in both countries, but the Foreign Earned Income Credit applies to earning foreign money, not US money.

No, the Foreign Earned Income Credit applies to ALL money, as long as YOU are working outside of the US (and you meet the qualifying time and circumstances).  It sounds like you would qualify.
