The federal government claims that it can tax individuals who earn their income outside the country. What is the difference?

The Marxistland left is likely livid over this. (And more broke.)

“The ruling means that Maryland taxpayers who tried to claim the credit on their county income tax returns between 2006 and 2014 are likely to be eligible for refunds that the state Comptrollers office says could total $200 million with interest. “
Holy, that’s a lot for refunds and it was a stupid law anyways.

The difference is that the IRS will allow a credit against you US tax liability for tax paid on income in the second country. Maryland was not allowing a similar credit.

The difference is IF you earned less than $50K for the year and the foreign bank where your money is located is NOT registered with FATCA. If not, Uncle Sam needs thicker glasses to look for it..

Worse, a decision that should have been 9 to 0 is merely 5-4. The statists just barely lost one here but for them redemption is on the way as soon as one of the conservatives leaves the SC.

It is not costing Maryland. They were not entitled to it in the first place.

The US taxes US citizens who work abroad! On top of foreign taxes to boot. And even if you renounce your citizenship, the IRS will still come after you.

What is the difference? Foreign Tax Credit. Nor, unlike this instance, in which I think the court found rightly on the constitutionality, do I see any constitutional impediment to the very bad policy of the Feds fully taxing income from abroad without any credit for foreign taxes paid.

The US is the only country in the world to tax its non-resident citizens. Not quite. Eritrea. But we really don't want to be in their company.
