why: so the government won’t be able to use your money for whatever the fuck they’re planning for the next 4 years.
as a traveler, none of my money has been funding Israel, for example.
one-step method: you basically fill out one extra tax form called FEIE while you’re doing your taxes, write down the dates you were outside of the country, and then since you aren’t in the country and are not receiving any services from the US, you don’t have to pay income tax up to a certain amount (it’s a little over 125k this year).
correct, yes.
I was trying to tactfully point out your comment’s redundancy, given the specific post title and body explanation of US tax code relevancy.
it’s sort of like I made a post about male seahorses giving birth, and you pointed out that male zebras do not give birth.
correct, for sure.
Just trying to avoid this community turning into !nostupidquestions@lemmy.world where all the questions are about the US elections
in that case, you want to retrain your target parameters.
they’re a bit wide.
They’re currently set on “USA specific posts in a general community”.
By the way, it’s always curious to me that there is no large instance managed from the USA.
LW and feddit.nl are Dutch
Lemm.ee is Estonian
Feddit.org and discuss.tchncs.de are German
SJW and lemmy.ca are Canadian
Lemmy.blahaj.zone, aussie.zone and Reddthat are Australian
There is Midwest.social but it’s quite small.
Any idea of the potential reasons?
“They’re currently set on “USA specific posts in a general community”.”
you might be drawing attention to the thing you’re trying to avoid.
“Any idea of the potential reasons?”
No idea, although I was wondering the same thing.
there are so many non-english communities that I regularly search for lemmy demographics out of curiosity, but I can’t even find ballparks on users categorized by nationality.
I just created a thread on !fediverse@lemmy.world , let’s see how it goes
nice, I’ll save it.
I’m definitely curious.
