    pretty much this except, doesn't she have to pay taxes to the US anyway? I thought all US citizens do

      More importantly, how much tax is she paying to Indonesia, the place she's using the infrastructure and benefiting from Healthcare and other services?

        Yeah I'm gonna guess she's not reporting her graphic design income that almost certainly all comes from overseas.

          If she doesn't report the income as subject to tax by Indonesia, then she can't claim the FEITE and her income will be subject to taxation in America as long as she maintains American citizenship, regardless of how long she is out of the country.

      If you spend 330+ days/year in other countries (time at sea doesn't count, so sailors get fucked), income that is subject to taxes in other countries is exempt from US taxes, it's called the Foreign Earned Income Tax Exclusion.

      If she's working for a US company (like a work from home deal) I would assume she would have to pay US Tax. If you're an expat and working in a foreign nation for a foreign company you would have to pay US tax if you make more than like 130,000 USD. I could be wrong im no tax accountant.
