I just finished doing our taxes. When I started looking into the rules for foreign income the language immediately became more complex and the questions more nuanced. After looking at one form for about four hours I finally realized that the US thinks that you must be doing something both dodgy and lucrative if you’re making money abroad. The guy who answered my tax questions at the embassy concurred: “Nobody would move to England for that little money!” Indeed.
