I can agree with that.  However, do you do the same thing to places like Guam, American Samoa and some of the Virgin Islands?

 

 

Honestly, I wasn't sure how that all worked.  Does that apply to Puerto Rican natives only?  As an example, say I decided to move to Puerto Rico and worked there, would I have to pay federal income taxes?

 

According to Wikipedia, if you are a bona fide resident for the whole year and all your earnings were within Puerto Rico, you do not have to pay income tax.

 

I guess it's the old no taxation without representation thing?

Yes that goes for all out territories the free ride has to end.

Similar concept applies to other US Citizens working abroad.  We had workers in Egypt supporting a DOD Aerospace Contract and as long as they were out of the US for a certain amount of weeks (like 42+), they were tax exempt.  I can't recall what the exact number of weeks was but one of our workers was in a bind because they came back to the US for a dying family member and got hit with taxes since their visit extended beyond the annual limitation to be tax exempt.
