I thought I didn't have to do taxes because I've been living and working in china since march 2012.

But I heard on the radio as a US citizen I have to fill out something no matter where I live.

I went on the IRS and I see I can fill out forms

A 2555 right?
Is that the only thing I fill out?

I earned about 15,000 USD April 2012-april 2013. I am not sure, I was paid cash and I am not the most organized person to keep track.

Not sure what to do at this point.

You need to file Forms 1040 and 2555. You will owe zero taxes.
