As it shows below of each year.
However there is no Double Taxation on Foreign Income of American living abroad full-time who may qualify as a resident in other local tax systems.
What Happens If you are a US Citizens Living Abroad & Did not File Your Taxes?
US citizens who don’t file US taxes while living abroad may face penalties, interest costs, or even criminal charges, it is not a joke. The IRS charges penalties for both late filing and late payments. If your lack of filing is willful–meaning you knowingly avoided your US tax requirements while living abroad–more serious legal consequences may apply.
However; the IRS does offer a way for Americans abroad to get caught up penalty-free if they didn’t know they needed to file US taxes while living overseas. Regardless of how many years you’ve missed, the Streamlined Filing Procedures only requires you to file the past three years of Federal tax returns and the past six years of FBARs, making it an easier, less expensive way to become compliant.
