This episode covers the foreign housing deduction/exclusion. If you spend quite a bit on your housing expenses, and you make more than $100,000 from working, then you can use this expat tax benefit to knock out a bit more of your foreign earned income.
After this episode, you’ll know all about:
- How to use the foreign housing deduction/exclusion;
- What the heck the difference is anyway between a deduction and an exclusion; and
- The relative cost of living between Chiang Mai and Hong Kong (and why it matters).
