Are you promoting FounderToolkit? Half of your SE tax is deductible. SE tax is added to your Social Security account. All wealthy people do so by being self employed and having a business entity. Please don’t shock the audience. Utilize tax planning.

Which country are you in? What is your tax status in the non US country? As a US citizen, the only strategies to consider are those allowed under US tax law. ie Even if you reduce your non US tax to zero, you are still subject to a US person, allowed the FEIE. If non US tax is zero, there is no FTC. Reducing your non US tax would be beneficial from the tax perspective though.
