As an American citizen, you are required to file an annual tax return regardless of where you live.
If you have NOT been filing, you will need to file from 2003 through 2010 (baased on guidance I recently received from the IRS on a similar case). You probably owe NOTHING in taxes on the prior year returns due to the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (Form 2555) and/or the Foreign Tax Credit (Form 1116), but you DO have to file. If you need professional help filing your returns, email me at [email protected]. This IS what I do! |
