new tax law regarding housing & tuition?

[meridith]

Hi, does anyone know if housing allowances and school tuition are going to be taxed as income in the usa? I just heard about this, and actually thought I'd only have to report my teaching salary? oops!! new to overseas, thanks for your help

as long as your total income, including housing etc., is under $80,000 you will not have to pay taxes in the USA.
