Go Figure

Eric in Chicago (formerly Milwaukee) sent me the link to this article today. As workers in Antarctica, we are taxed because we are not working in a foreign country. But we don't have any rights to overtime compensation because we are working in a foreign country. Go figure!

Hi Katie,

I am working on a story about the Antartica tax issue for BusinessWeek. I'm wondering why people thought they could claim the exemption in the first place. Were people doing it for years? Do you owe the IRS any money?

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks,
