Yup. That's me. The new kid on the block. Just stopping by to say hello and...

I have a question about filing taxes as a US citizen living abroad, with no income in the US for the past two years. I read there is no need to file taxes if I don't receive a W2 form or my income was less than $400.

Any word about it?

Gracias!

This explains the filing requirements:

Basically, if you are single and your *worldwide* income is over 10k, you have to file. Also, if you have a foreign bank account with over 10k, you must file Form 114 (FBAR)

Ok Off topic, I have a confession to make..
I log in to check the threads only to read hybrid ambassador and ceviches replies to one another. It's getting to be a habit with me, quite the amusement I might add!

You're new here. The novelty factor wears off after a while, especially when Hybrid-San starts ranting about dirty Bolivians and Peruvians.

Thanks Sam-san. We were discussing you in another thread today.

you have to file no matter what but you probably won't owe. With W-2 you don't have to pay anything if outside the US some 330+ days per year. WIth 1099 (independent contractor work) above $600/ year from any one client, you have to pay 15% tax no matter how long you've been outside the country. Just download Turbo Tax for $15 and if you have nothing to declare it will be super easy!!
