### Comment:
So you pay income taxes to the US despite living abroad?

### REPLY:
Unfortunately yes, but that's just how it is. At least I get most of it back because of the foreign exclusion tax. You can choose to not pay taxes up to 105k and pay for everything after or get it back in a refund, I personally find it easier to just pay it up front and get a tax refund of like ~20-30k (assuming I don't owe, which I normally do).
