How Do I File My US Taxes from Abroad?

• If you are a US citizen living abroad, you can
  file your US tax returns electronically from any

When to file

• If you are a US national or green card holder
  living abroad, you will be eligible for two
  months extension period for paying your tax
  liability. The official due date for filing tax
  returns is April 15th (for e.g. 2021 tax return
  will be due on 15th April 2022). IRS grants an
  automatic extension period of 2 months to
  June15th to accommodate you. However, this
  automatic extension does not apply to money owed
  i.e., the penalty for late tax will be calculated
  from the start of the two-month extended period
  which is April 15th (for extension up to June15).
  This means that even though you have been given
  the extension to file, you till shave to pay the
  interest on the tax due according to the original
  calendar date of your return which is April 15.

When to file

• If you are unable to meet the extended deadline
  of June15th for filing your returns, you can
  apply for a further extension up to October15th.
  This can be done by filling form 4868 which is an
  Application for an Automatic Extension of Time
  to File a U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.
  This form must be filed before the automatic
  two-month extension period comes to an end. Note
  that an extension gives you extra time to file
  but you will still be charged penalties and
  interests but at a lower rate.
• Interest only You will still be charged interest
  on tax due from April15th.
• Interest and Penalty Any payments made after
  June15th will be subject to both interest and
  failure to pay penalties.
