USA Taxes for Americans Abroad - 01/13/02 07:39 AM
Hi Board! I know that this isnīt a topic directly related to Madrid, but I am sure that it would be helpful to many of us Americans living and working in Spain. There are many American board members who lived and worked in Spain, so maybe you can shed some light on this confusing topic!
What is the legal requirements for US citizens living abroad when it comes to paying Federal Income Tax in the USA? With the start of the new year, and 2001 tax deadline being upon us sooner than we know it I am trying to understand my tax responsibilities.
I lived and worked in the USA as a single woman until the end of March 2001. I got married (to a Spaniard) in April 2001 and immediately moved to Spain. I have been working here in Spain since November. Do I owe taxes to the USA for the time worked here in Spain? Do I file as married? single? I am sooo confused. I have checked many expat sites, and they donīt see very clear (or I am just torpe) and my accountant in the US has never dealt with international tax situations.
Help!
