If I take a job overseas with a US contracting company and I qualify for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, will I and my employer still pay into Social Security? I definitely want to keep my Social Security taxes going so that I can get a decent payment when I retire.
Most likely yes, but I would need more information in order to answer definitively. If you’d like to setup a consultation so I can learn more about your situation and advise you properly, please email us info@esquiregroup.com
Hi! Jimmy, I need help with my daughter Kimberly, she lives in Panama with her 2 children and her salary is $900 per month and my question is how she can do her taxes and if she has to have a bank account here in the United States. What form does she have to use to declare her taxes?
