If you're outside the US --
working abroad, traveling abroad, or
studying abroad -- remember that April 15 is a circle-the-calendar date in the US: tax returns (and, possibly, checks) are due to the IRS (if you're
truly living overseas, though, you've probably got an automatic filing extension until June 15). You
can file from overseas, and if you're working and living abroad, you
may not have to pay any US taxes (but, if you're a US citizen, you still need to know about filing a tax return in the US). Learn more:
