Hi, all. I've searched through the thread and can't find anything that matches this.
I moved to Switzerland from Texas on July 1. I have taken a permanent position in Zürich and do not plan on moving back to the US any time soon. I do not plan on giving up my citizenship. As far a I know, I do not count as a bona fide foreign resident yet as I have not been here a full year. I paid US taxes through June. I have been paying Swiss taxes since July 1. Am I able to deduct the Swiss taxes from my US taxes? Or will I be doubly taxed on those 6 months? Everything I've read speaks of "bona fide" and "presence", but I can't seem to find an answer to this.
I'm hoping I don't. Thanks for the advice.
Ben..
