Work outside the USA in NORWAY

A US Citizen is taxable wherever they live.  If you are gone for 330 out of 365 days or a full calender year, you can exempt up to $82,400 of income by filing form 2555.  If you are earning over $82,400, you can claim a foreign tax credit for the taxes paid to Norway by filing form 1116.

If you go to www.centa.com and read the US/Canada Taxation section in the second box down, it will teach you a lot because Article IV of the US Norway and Article IV of the US Canada Tax convention (treaty) are very similar and the information for you as a US citizen living in a tax treaty country should be right on.
