Hi, this is a question about taxes and the foreign earned income exclusion, a term that is new to me (sorry if this is the wrong forum, and sorry if this has been discussed before, could not find it with the search engine).

Suppose the following: X, a US Citizen, lives in a foreign country. All the year (Jan 1 to Dec 31). X is an employee at a firm in that foreign country (that's his only job), and he makes 90,000 in that year (2013 let's say). Is it correct to say that X will have to fill a US tax return, but that will have to pay $ 0 of US federal income tax?

Thanks so much.
