Learn about IRS Form 673 with the Expat tax preparation experts at H&R Block. This form is important if you are exempt from foreign income withholding.

Statement for Claiming Exemption from Withholding on Foreign Earned Income Eligible for the Exclusions(s) Provided by Section 911

Taxpayers file IRS form 673 with their U.S. employers to claim an exemption from U.S. income tax withholding on wages earned while living in a foreign country. The exemption applies to the maximum amount of excludible income through the foreign earned income exclusion and foreign housing exclusion for that tax year. Therefore, the employer would withhold the correct amount of federal income tax, if any, on the employee’s wages.

H&R Block Expat Tax has always been fast, efficient and answers my questions. For 10 years I filed everything myself and never received a refund. Now I get a big refund every year! Wish I had known sooner. I highly recommend HRB Expat Tax.

I live in Kenya now and run my own online digital marketing business. Using this service has helped me save tons of time and energy on my taxes. I am also really relieved that they will help if I need it during audits. It really makes living abroad and doing taxes a million times better.

I have been using H&R block for a few years now. I live abroad, but don't make a lot of money. Filing with H&R block is as painless as doing taxes gets and my Advisor is wonderful and answers all my questions.
