Check if you must file a tax return

Unless specifically exempted, the worldwide incomes of US citizens and permanent residents are taxable under US income tax laws.

If you have incomes, even if earned outside the US, you should check whether you have to file a US income tax return. Filing does not necessarily mean that you will owe taxes. If your incomes are exempted from income taxes, you may end up with not owing any income taxes. However, you may still have a duty to file the return.
