no, i went to PWC. but they weren't nearly as helpful as the IRS website or my Turbo tax. actually the IRS website has greatly improved. lots of FAQs regarding Sino-U.S. duo taxing could be answered there.

Yeah, you have to pay your taxes to the IRS. On April 15 you have to do something. Your choices are to either file a return or file an extension.

Quote:

If you are a U.S. citizen or a resident alien of the United States and you live abroad, you are taxed on your worldwide income. However, you may qualify to exclude from income up to $80,000 of your foreign earnings. In addition, you can exclude or deduct certain foreign housing amounts. (see the second link below)
