Assume that this is not a wannabee, but someone who, for example, already has a solid job offer from an EU country, and some cash for the relocation.

    you always have to file taxes if you are a US citizen, you rarely have to file taxes as a digital nomad in other countries, but you’d have to check depending on the country.

    the taxes you pay in one country will offset the taxes you pay in the other, so you won’t be paying double taxes and you can choose the more favorable tax home for you.

    If you are outside of the US for more than 330 days out of the year, you don’t pay earned income tax on the first $125,000(they update the number annually).

    your employer in the US doesn’t have to do anything with the country you’re moving to.

      All of this really depends on the tax treaty the host country has with the US, if it has one. If there is none, or the treaty doesn’t credit in this way, you could be double taxed.

        not for what I’m talking about.

        as I said, check the country, but double taxation specifically shouldn’t be a concern since not being double taxed is part of the US tax code and most country’s tax codes.

        every country, in fact, that I’m aware of.
