I need some advice about 2006 Form Income Irs Tax
Q.My wife who is a US Citizen, and who has lived and worked here in England this past year, and has thus been paying taxes and the like here was shocked to find she needed to file a tax form in the US, and report on her income here. In addition, she's required to pay taxes to the US Government, despite not being there or receiving any of the things that US taxes are used for!! Does anyone know anything about the regulations for foreign earned income? It just seems crazy that the US Government can tax here, even though she isn't even living there!! If any one has had this experience about 2006 Form Income Irs Tax ,please answer for me
A.No US citizen is exempted from filing income tax no matter how long ago or where your income was. Fortunately I believe that US and UK signed tax treaty a number of years ago, your wife only has to pay her income tax in UK but must file with IRS nevertheless. So, for the long term, I would suggest to contact IRS and explained your wife situation (ie: to file for the past 'x' years as worldwide income) and get clearance from them. In the mean time the letter from IRS is good enough for immigration purpose. I've never been in your situation before, but, your wife can file back taxes for the last 3 years. The good news is that she won't owe any US taxes. She'll need to file an IRS form 2555-EZ with her taxes so that she'll be exempt from any US income tax. I think you'll find that she has to file IRS form 1040 not 1040EZ as she is a citizen earning abroad. From the IRS website :- I think she will also need the IRS form 2555 for the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion.
