    Filing from overseas, sailing permit etc.
    Here's my situation:

    I worked on my OPT from July 05 until May 06. In June I left the US to move back home to Austria, where I live and work now.
    Now I received my W2 from my employer in the US for the months I worked in 06.
    I did not file for a "sailing permit" when I left last year.

    My questions now:
    1) How do I go about filing my taxes for 06 in the US?
    2) Do I have to file for a sailing permit now?

    Thanks!

    Geli07:

    File an expatriate dual-status return. That will serve as your "sailing permit" In my opinion.
