U.S. citizens and resident aliens are taxed on their worldwide income

If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien ( greeen card holder), the rules for filing income tax returns and paying estimated tax are generally the same whether you are in the United States or abroad. Your worldwide income is subject to U.S. income tax, regardless of where you reside.

When to file

If you reside overseas, or are in the military on duty outside the U.S., you are allowed an automatic 2-month extension to file your return until June 15. However, any tax due must be paid by the original return due date (April 15) to avoid interest charges.

If you are unable to file your return by the due date, you can request an additional extension to October 15 by filing before the return due date. However, any payments made after June 15 would be subject to both interest charges and failure to pay penalties.

How to file

Individual Income Tax Return forms can be filed in two ways

1) E-file *
2) On paper and mailed to your local IRS Service Center.

* For e-filing each taxpayer who files, or is claimed as a dependent on a U.S. tax return will need a social security number (SSN) or individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN). Some type of income and statements can not be e-filed.
