YSK - for all the things that can make your life easier!
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.

you're honestly a strange person.
so, ive lived outside of the US for over 15 years and have filed taxes where i live and back in the US, where I file the 1040 and the 2555, because you have to. You don't only fill out the 2555. I know a bunch of americans here and never once have I heard of the 2555 called a "FEIE Form" the way you're describing it.
You said "you don't pay tax on the first approx 125k", and I pointed out that you absolutely do pay tax, just not to the US, you pay to the government in the country where you're living. its not tax free, its just to the government of Australia or wherever you live instead of the US.
I also mentioned that people will pay tax on earned income under that 125k if youre in the states over 35 days, but that its prorated, so its not that you pay 100% of taxes all of a sudden, it's what you would pay divided by 330 (if you were one day over, or 329 if you were over by two days, etc.)
just trying to expand and clarify on your post. apparently its your area of complete expertise and anyone saying anything is just googling shit to bask in the glory of your genius, though. stay cool
