That is incorrect. Having lived overseas for 20 years I think I am pretty well versed in taxes and exemptions. In order to get the exemption quoted there is one big hoop you must jump through. You must have a work visa for the country you wish to live in. In order to the the deduction you must file as a boni
fied resident (ie work visa) If you just file for an exemption without a work visa you must not be in the US more than 29 days a year.
If the country you choose to live in you will be able to deduct any taxes paid in that country. I live in Japan and the company (IASCO) issued the letter for me when filing my taxes. After that first year the letter was not needed in subsequent filings. There a some other caveats that will need to you ask a professional well versed in overseas exemptions.

What you can file and what will hold up in an audit are completely different things. A lottery that a dozen or so people that I know have been playing for years, and winning. So far. YMMV.
