Yes, but if you pay taxes in the country you're staying in, there's a chance you can deduct that tax from your taxable income on your US taxes, depending on the treaties in play.

    The "Foreign Tax Credit" is a flat credit that goes against any US liability.

    There are a few caveats, by country, if I'm not mistaken. For instance, I don't believe you can claim it on sanctioned countries. So anyone pulling a salary in Russia is stuck. But then folks in Russia likely aren't having their incomes reported to the US IRS anyway, so its something of a moot point.
