Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to the most common questions about filing U.S. taxes from abroad.
Yes. The United States taxes its citizens on their worldwide income, regardless of where they live. Even if you earn all your income overseas, you are still required to file a U.S. tax return if your income exceeds the standard filing threshold. Failing to file can result in penalties and complications with your passport.
