Do I have to file a tax return when I leave the US to work abroad as an expat?

< 1 min

The answer is yes.

US citizens or green card holders are taxed on their worldwide income. A tax return is due each year regardless of where you’re located and regardless of your source of income.

A return is due each year on June 15th, and the deadline to pay tax is April 15th. 

US citizens and green card holders must report their income each year on a worldwide basis and in most cases can avail themselves of foreign tax credits such that they’re not double-taxed on their income.
