You have to report taxes. Whether you pay taxes depends on whether there's a tax treaty with your residence to avoid double taxation. Australia and the USA have such a treaty. A note: reporting applies to tax residents, not just citizens. Brendan will be reporting to the US for some years to come, simply by virtue of his long time spent in the US. (Of course, I am not a tax lawyer, etc) > If you don't feel committed to the US, then why would you put up with such a thing? For the protections of citizenship and the right to vote. If you have made a life in the US that's worth having.
