Hello,
I am interested in learning US tax law pertaining to working in USA waters aboard a ship while retaining my US expat tax status.
I expect to be offered a job and want to know what are the conditions I need to negotiate.
Does the ship need to be foreign flagged?
Do I need to be in international waters?
What constitutes international waters?
I work in the oil/gas industry.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards, Mark
PS: I know that I nee to read the IRS info regarding this but they are not known for easy reading so I thought I would ask here.
