Can somebody advise us how to handle US tax. I am a US citizen who works in China. After paying forien (i.e.China, Hong Kong etc.) tax, I suppose I could deduct the forien tax as tax credit in my US tax return. I have added additional $80000 for my expat deduction in the US tax calculation. The problem is that the AMT (alternative minimum tax) law does not let me take all my forien tax as tax credit. I will always have to pay several thousands more $ to uncle Sam. Actually the company I work for is not a US company, so it does not send IRS a W-2 for me. But the company does withdraw my forien tax. Is there a way to avoid the US AMT tax, which is on top of my forien tax.
