Texan, check with your tax consultant. Americans must meet certain qualifications to exempt the first $80,0000 of their federal tax bill. You will be making over that amount. You will also owe taxes on the fair market value of your housing, kids' schooling, transportation and plane tickets. Depending on your state, you may also owe state and local taxes. If you are making about the same salary the tax break may not be enough incentive. Rule of thumb is salary plus 25% plus all else.
