My brother is a second mate in the Merchant Marines. His ship runs between Valparaiso, Chile and either Oakland or Houston. He'd been a Texas resident using my address since going to sea. He changed his residence to Chile in early January when he married a Chilean school teacher and bought a home outside of Valparaiso with her. He's changed his Texas driver's license, his voter's registration, and everything he could think of to his Chilean address. He rattled off a list of benefits he was going to get with this arrangement. One of them was his income is now gets the the foreign-earned income. Is this correct - he owes no federal income taxes?
