      I recently saw a video claiming that the US taxes it’s citizens even if they live abroad. Is that true? If so, how are you going to deal with that? Paying taxes for two countries would not leave you a lot to live on…

        I believe you’re only taxed the delta between what would be your US rate and another country’s rate if said country has a lower rate.

        Most countries have agreements to not double tax people. So if you tell the US government you already pay taxes to Sweden, they will waive their own tax requirements
