Do I need to file Form 1040 if I live abroad?

US tax filing

If you are a US citizen or green card holder, yes. US filing obligations follow status rather than location, and living abroad does not remove them.

Non-US persons file Form 1040-NR instead, and only when they have US-source income. Owning shares in a US company does not by itself create a personal filing obligation.

Inkle Tax prepares and files US federal and state returns for your company.
