If a U.S. citizen moves to a foreign country and earns his living on the foreign country, is he required to file a U.S. tax return?

@gollum,
The answer is yes. American citizens are required to pay taxes to the American government no matter where they live or work.


Quote:
If you are a U.S. citizen or resident alien, the rules for filing income, estate, and gift 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.
