Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has had experience back-filing taxes for foreign income (FI)... ( I have been living abroad for 2.5 yrs)

Am trying to file for 2013 and can't seem to find all the answers on irs.gov.

Basically, from what I see, our income comes out to nothing from FI, but if we have account interest from bank account in the states, paid student loans, then income comes out as a negative as a whole?!

Do we also use the general deduction as well on the 1040?!

Any words of wisdom would be great!

(and yes, income is way below Exclusion limits.)

Also, for 2014 i made under the limit to file... do we still need to file for the I-864? (I am using a joint sponsor as obviously am not eligible!)

TIA!

Hi,

New to the group and I have lots of questions!! Firstly, I am a US & French citizen - met a frenchman, and I want to move back to the US. We get married next month and then will begin the process for his visa!

So, honestly, I am just looking for any good advice on the process when doing this from overseas... most of what I have read is USC living in the US.

We plan on staying here in France until his visa goes through.

We both are currently unemployed (because we moved from New Caledonia to France to marry and file paperwork. Doing so from New Caledonia would have been very challenging.) We have yet to find work... but hopefully will soon! We have a joint bank account, live at his parents house (till we find work) and have pictures of our travels from NC to here.. We have only been together for a little over a year.

We know we will move to Tucson, Az once paper goes through.

I still have my DL, address and bank accounts in US.

One question I have already is intended address for in the states - we don't know yet!! We can use my friends address and can get a letter from him I am sure.. so is it ok to use that? and it will be different than our Joint Sponsors address because we won't be living with the Joint Sponsor (my father)?

is that ok?

Anyways, thanks for any advice!
