My name is ***** ***** I am a NSW Solicitor. Thank you for your question, and will do my best to assist you with your question. Please understand this is not legal advise Please understand this is not legal advise but a guide to assist you.
There is an income test that is applied.
It is a gross amount that it has to be calculated on. Because you are living Overseas they should not be withholding in the US and you should be able to file a document to stop the tax
Here is some information
