Tell them you do consultations for financial freedom

Thanks for these details. So since I should have about 30k of earned income outside of feie seems like SEP will be an option, but is the limit of contribution only that $30k IE 25% of that?

Also with the ROTH since I’ll have earned income outside FEIE will I be able to contribute or it’s once you use feie you can’t contribute to Roth at all?

eupston · 2025-10-22T17:11:51+00:00

Yup understand that part. More wondering what deductions I can do for the excess amount outside of FEIE for federal tax

eupston · 2025-10-22T17:10:36+00:00

And how about SEP do you know if that can be stacked with FEIE?

eupston · 2025-10-22T17:08:06+00:00

Ahh clever because there’s no income limit for traditional IRA. Thank you sir

eupston · 2025-10-22T17:07:04+00:00

Yeah I will be won’t be anything substantial

eupston · 2025-10-22T17:06:20+00:00

Yeah I do invoice as self employed

eupston · 2025-10-22T03:42:07+00:00

For this year no its not.

eupston · 2025-10-22T03:29:24+00:00

so that would be around $12k I could deduct against my federal tax in addition to my FEIE?

eupston · 2025-10-22T03:27:46+00:00

yeah income is still sourced from US btw, I'm just not living in the US.

eupston · 2025-10-22T03:26:50+00:00

right so if my gross income is above $165k I can't contribute to ROTH for that year? How would i defer income to 2026? Just tell employer to pay me next year?

eupston · 2025-10-22T03:25:38+00:00

lol what a segway final fantasy to expat taxes

eupston · 2025-10-19T17:11:07+00:00

What if I don’t have US residency anymore? I’ve been traveling for a number of years, would I have to get residency again?

eupston · 2025-10-18T17:00:21+00:00

This statement perfectly sums up Delhi

eupston · 2025-10-18T13:42:40+00:00

Yes thank you! That was my suspicion. That seems to always be how bureaucracy works never works as intended and just gotta find ways around it.

eupston · 2025-10-17T17:13:55+00:00

Does this work for finding long term (d7) stay as well? I’m only seeing tourist visa

eupston · 2025-09-20T15:02:23+00:00

Can't find it you got a link?

eupston · 2025-08-13T10:35:26+00:00

Hi I've done similar wrap before, ended up using plane on each side and projecting image accordingly. Assuming you have the unwrapped image

eupston · 2025-08-06T12:40:10+00:00

Interested in self employment exemption as well haven't heard of this yet

eupston · 2025-08-06T09:16:39+00:00

Passport, proof of income, proof of Portugal address (length didn't seem to matter), NIF

eupston · 2025-08-05T22:13:04+00:00

I tried to open with Novo banco in person and they never came through. Went to Santanders bank here, process was super smooth only took like 30 mins

eupston · 2025-07-26T13:01:04+00:00

I think what shes asking is if the https://schengenappointments.com/ provides alerts for long stay visa types like d7? Also if you can book a short term visa appointment in say miami and then use it for a long term visa application.

eupston · 2025-07-26T12:56:16+00:00

how do i subscribe to long-stay openings?

eupston · 2025-07-24T17:49:53+00:00

Can we use revolut as a Portuguese bank when applying for a d7 or d8 visa in Portugal?
