Filing tax returns for US citizens new to the US

<p>If you’re a U.S. citizen, you have the same filing obligation whether you live in the U.S. or abroad: you only have to file if you make enough to have a tax liability. Generally, that is $950 of unearned income or $5,700 of earned income assuming you are a dependent on somebody elses return.</p>
