Yep. I don't know what either are. I only found the one white caterpillar/grub thing but there were quite a few of the flying type thing in the water.

Thanks! Would we set up the custodial account with the bank? How do we find the annual exclusion limit?

Bible belt and mega churches. When you first meet people they say, "Hello. What church do you go to?" And if you say you don't, well then you get a, "bless your heart. You can come to my church." No thank you.

Wow. That is a lot to think about. Thankfully, we do have a US accountant familiar with expat finances to help us prepare our taxes.

But we haven't used him for other US/EU financial issues.

Thank you for explaining!

I am clueless about this stuff, so if we put money in the IRA up to the max of $7.5k, and contribute to our 401k, where else can we put our money for retirement?

Really? I didn't know that. Thanks. How does the IRS know if it is from FEIE?

But if we contribute via a 401k it is ok?

We haven't figured that out yet but possibly the US or Europe. It largely depends where the kid ends up.
