What happens if you don't file taxes for 2 years?
What happens if you don't file taxes for 2 years? If you're supposed to file a 2022 tax return but don't, the consequences can be costly. The IRS may charge you penalties and interest for each month you go without filing and don't pay the taxes due. Additionally, if you don't file a return within three years of the due date, you may forfeit any refund you're owed.
Why do I have to pay US taxes if I live abroad?
In general, yes — Americans must pay U.S. taxes on foreign income. The U.S. is one of only two countries in the world where taxes are based on citizenship, not place of residency. If you're considered a U.S. citizen or U.S. permanent resident, you pay income tax regardless where the income was earned.
