Exemption Under Tax Treaty
If you are from a country that has a tax treaty with the United
States, you should first look at the treaty to see if there is a
provision that exempts your income. The income of U.S. citizens and
resident aliens working for foreign governments usually is not exempt.
However, in a few instances, the income of a U.S. citizen with dual
citizenship may qualify. Often the exemption is limited to the income
of persons who also are nationals of the foreign country involved.
Resident aliens from France.
The United States and France have an agreement to relieve double
taxation of U.S. permanent residents who receive wages and pensions
for governmental services performed for the government of France.
Generally, this income is taxable in the United States and France.
However, the United States will allow a credit for taxes paid to
France on this income.
