How Breadcounter Helped This Expat Software Engineer Cut Her Tax Bill by 57%
Went from paying $36,657 as a confused freelancer to $15,626 with a proper structure and expat tax strategy. No more double taxation stress. No more guessing. Just a clean system that works.
The Challenge
This software consultant was living in Mexico City making $14K/month through freelance development work. She was a US citizen pulling solid income but was completely lost when it came to US tax obligations as an expat. No LLC. No structure. No clue about the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE). She was worried about getting hit with double taxation - paying taxes in Mexico AND the US - and had no idea how to navigate the system. She was making good money but stressed about how much she'd owe the IRS come tax time.
