In reply to the discussion: Bill Maher Asks: "When did the American dream become this pathway to indentured servitude?" [View all]LittleGirl
(8,280 posts)16. Not really.
When I lived abroad in Europe, I had no income and therefore never filed taxes to the IRS. My spouse wasn't a US citizen so he didn't have to file in the US either. It wasn't until we moved to the states that we joint filed or taxes. He's a citizen now and when we leave the States, we will have to continue to file until we die or they change the laws. It really depends on your marital status but that was in '07-'09 and they have indeed changed the law since then.
We just left Vancouver yesterday and will be flying home in a couple of hours. We drove up to Whistler Thursday and it was probably one of the most scenic drives I've ever seen. Loved it.

You are almost correct. If you have a very low income, you don't even have to file.
