Filing U.S. Tax Returns
This is archived information that pertains only to the 2006 Tax Year. If you
are looking for information for the current tax year, go to the Tax Prep Help Area.
The information in chapter 3 will tell you if a U.S. income tax return is required for your situation. If a U.S. return is
required, your next step
is to see if you meet the filing requirements. If you do meet the filing requirements, the information presented in this chapter
will help you
understand the special procedures involved. This chapter discusses:
-
Filing requirements,
-
When to file your return,
-
Where to send your return,
-
How to adjust your deductions and credits if you are excluding income from American Samoa or Puerto Rico,
-
How to make estimated tax payments and pay self-employment tax, and
-
How to request assistance in resolving instances of double taxation.
If you are not required to file a possession tax return that includes your worldwide income, you must generally file a U.S.
income tax return if
your gross income is at least the amount shown in Table 4-1 for your filing status and age.
If you were a bona fide resident of American Samoa or Puerto Rico and are able to exclude your possession income from your
U.S. tax return, your
filing requirement may be less than the amount in Table 4-1. For details, see the information under Filing Requirement if Possession Income Is
Excluded, beginning on this page.
Some individuals (such as those who can be claimed as a dependent on another person's return or who owe certain taxes, such
as self-employment tax)
must file a tax return even though the gross income is less than the amount shown in Table 4-1 for their filing status and
age. For more information,
see the Form 1040 instructions.
Filing Requirement if Possession Income Is Excluded
If you were a bona fide resident of American Samoa or Puerto Rico and qualify to exclude possession income on your U.S. tax
return, you must
determine your adjusted filing requirement. Generally, your filing requirement is based on the total of your (and your spouse's
if filing a joint
return) personal exemption(s) plus your standard deduction.
Personal exemption.
When figuring your filing requirement, your personal exemption is allowed in full. Do not reduce it for this purpose.
Do not include exemptions for
your dependents.
Allowable standard deduction.
Unless your filing status is married filing separately, the minimum income level at which you must file a return is
based, in part, on the standard
deduction for your filing status and age. Because the standard deduction applies to all types of income, it must be divided
between your excluded
income and income from other sources. Multiply the regular standard deduction for your filing status and age (this is zero
if you are married filing a
separate return; all others, see Form 1040 instructions) by the following fraction:
| |
Gross income subject to U.S. income tax
|
|
| |
Gross income from all sources
(including excluded possession income)
|
|
Example.
Barbara Spruce, a U.S. citizen, is single, under 65, and a bona fide resident of American Samoa. During 2006, she received
$20,000 of income from
American Samoa sources (qualifies for exclusion) and $8,000 of income from sources outside the possession (subject to U.S.
income tax). Her allowable
standard deduction for 2006 is figured as follows:
| |
$8,000
$28,000
|
×
|
$5,150
(regular standard deduction)
|
=
|
$1,471
|
|
Adjusted filing requirement.
Figure your adjusted filing requirement by adding the amount of your allowable standard deduction to the amount of
your personal exemption. You
must file a U.S. income tax return if your gross income is at least the amount shown on line 3 of the following worksheet.

* If you were born on January 1, 1942, you are considered to be age 65 at the end of 2006.
|
|
** Gross income means all income you received in the form of money, goods, property, and services that is not exempt from
tax, including any income from sources outside the United States (even if you may exclude part or all of it). Do not include social
security benefits unless you are married filing a separate return and you lived with your spouse at any time in 2006.
|
|
*** If you did not live with your spouse at the end of 2006 (or on the date your spouse died) and your gross income was at
least $3,300, you must file a return regardless of your age.
|
Example 1.
James and Joan Thompson, one over 65, are U.S. citizens and bona fide residents of Puerto Rico during the entire tax year.
They file a joint income
tax return. During 2006, they received $35,000 of income from Puerto Rican sources (qualifies for exclusion) and $6,000 of
income from sources outside
Puerto Rico (subject to U.S. income tax). They do not itemize their deductions. Their allowable standard deduction for 2006
is figured as follows:
| |
$6,000
$41,000
|
×
|
$11,300 (regular standard deduction)
|
=
|
$1,654
|
|
The Thompsons do not have to file a U.S. income tax return because their gross income subject to U.S. tax ($6,000) is less
than their
allowable standard deduction plus their personal exemptions ($1,654 + $6,600 = $8,254).
Example 2.
Barbara Spruce (see Example under Allowable standard deduction, earlier), however, must file a U.S. income tax return because
her gross income subject to U.S. tax ($8,000) is more than her allowable standard deduction plus her personal exemption ($1,471+
$3,300 = $4,771).
If you must file a U.S. income tax return, you may be able to file a paperless return using IRS e-file . See your form instructions
or
visit our website at
www.irs.gov.
If you file on a calendar year basis, the due date for filing your U.S. income tax return is April 15 following the end of
your tax year. If you
use a fiscal year (a year ending on the last day of a month other than December), the due date is the 15th day of the 4th
month after the end of your
fiscal year. If any due date falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, your tax return is due on the next business day.
For this purpose, “legal holiday” means a legal holiday in the District of Columbia or in the state where the return is required to be filed.
It does not include a legal holiday in a foreign country, unless it is also a legal holiday described in the previous sentence.
For your 2006 tax return, the due date is April 17, 2007.
If you mail your federal tax return, it is considered timely if it bears an official postmark dated on or before the due date,
including any
extensions. If you use a private delivery service designated by the IRS, generally the postmark date is the date the private
delivery service records
in its database or marks on the mailing label. See your form instructions for a list of designated private delivery services.
Extensions of Time To File
You can get an extension of time to file your return. Special rules apply for those living outside the United States.
Automatic 6-Month Extension
If you cannot file your 2006 return by the due date, you can get an automatic 6-month extension of time to file.
Example.
If your return must be filed by April 17, 2007, you will have until October 15, 2007, to file.
Although you are not required to make a payment of the tax you estimate as due, Form 4868 does not extend the time to pay
taxes. If you do not pay
the amount due by the regular due date (generally, April 15), you will owe interest on any unpaid tax from the original due
date to the date you pay
the tax. You may also be charged penalties (see the instructions for Form 4868).
How to get the automatic extension.
You can get the automatic 6-month extension if you do one of the following by the due date for filing your return.
-
E-file Form 4868 using your personal computer or a tax professional.
-
E-file and pay by credit card. You may pay by phone or over the Internet. Do not file Form 4868.
-
File a paper Form 4868. If you are a fiscal year taxpayer, you must file a paper Form 4868.
See Form 4868 for information on getting an extension using these options.
When to file.
You must request the automatic extension by the due date for your return. You can file your return any time before
the 6-month extension period
ends.
When you file your return.
Enter any payment you made related to the extension of time to file on Form 1040, line 69. If you file Form 1040A
or Form 1040EZ, include that
payment in your total payments on Form 1040A, line 43, or Form 1040EZ, line 10. Also enter “ Form 4868” and the amount paid in the space to the
left of the entry space for line 43 or line 10.
You cannot ask the Internal Revenue Service to figure your tax if you use the extension of time to file.
Individuals Outside the United States
You are allowed an automatic 2-month extension (until June 15, 2007, if you use the calendar year) to file your 2006 return
and pay any federal
income tax due if:
-
You are a U.S. citizen or resident, and
-
On the due date of your return:
-
You are living outside of the United States and Puerto Rico, and your main place of business or post of duty is outside the
United States
and Puerto Rico, or
-
You are in military or naval service on duty outside the United States and Puerto Rico.
However, if you pay the tax due after the regular due date (generally April 15), interest will be charged from that date until
the date the tax is
paid.
If you served in a combat zone or qualified hazardous duty area, you may be eligible for a longer extension of time to file.
For more information,
see Publication 3, Armed Forces Tax Guide.
Married taxpayers.
If you file a joint return, only one spouse has to qualify for this automatic extension. If you and your spouse file
separate returns, this
automatic extension applies only to the spouse who qualifies.
How to get the extension.
To use this special automatic extension, you must attach a statement to your return explaining what situation qualified
you for the extension. (See
the situations listed under (2), above.)
Extensions beyond 2 months.
If you cannot file your return within the automatic 2-month extension period, you can get an additional 4-month extension,
for a total of 6 months.
File Form 4868 by the end of the automatic extension period (usually June 15). Be sure to check the box on Form 4868, line
8.
In addition to this 6-month extension, taxpayers who are out of the country (as defined under (2) earlier) can request
a discretionary 2-month
additional extension of time to file their returns (to December 15 for calendar year taxpayers).
To request this extension, you must send the IRS a letter explaining the reasons why you need the additional 2 months.
Send the letter by the
extended due date (October 15 for calendar year taxpayers) to:
Internal Revenue Service Center
Austin, TX 73301-0215
You will not receive any notification from the IRS unless your request is denied for being untimely.
If you have to file Form 1040 with the United States, send your return to:
Internal Revenue Service Center
Austin, TX 73301-0215
If you do not qualify to exclude possession income on your U.S. return, mail your return to the address shown in the Form
1040 instructions for the
possession or state in which you reside.
Special Rules for Completing Your U.S. Tax Return
If you are not excluding possession income from your U.S. tax return, follow the instructions for the specific forms you file.
However, you may not
qualify to claim the earned income credit (EIC).
Earned income credit.
Even if you maintain a household in one of these possessions that is your main home and the home of your qualifying
child, you cannot claim the
earned income credit on your U.S. tax return. This credit is available only if you maintain the household in the United States
or you are serving on
extended active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces.
U.S. Armed Forces.
U.S. military personnel stationed outside the United States on extended active duty are considered to live in the
United States during that duty
period for purposes of the EIC. Extended active duty means you are called or ordered to duty for an indefinite period or for
a period of more than 90
days. Once you begin serving your extended active duty, you are still considered to have been on extended active duty even
if you do not serve more
than 90 days.
Income from American Samoa or Puerto Rico excluded.
You will not be allowed to take deductions and credits that apply to the excluded income. This section contains the
additional information you
need.
Deductions if Possession Income Is Excluded
Deductions that specifically apply to your excluded possession income, such as employee business expenses, are not allowable
on your U.S. income
tax return.
Deductions that do not specifically apply to any particular type of income must be divided between your excluded income from
sources in the
relevant possession and income from all other sources to find the part that you can deduct on your U.S. tax return. Examples
of such deductions are
alimony payments, the standard deduction, and certain itemized deductions (such as medical expenses, charitable contributions,
real estate taxes, and
mortgage interest on your home).
Figuring the deduction.
To find the part of a deduction that is allowable, multiply the deduction by the following fraction.
| |
Gross income subject to U.S. income tax
|
|
| |
Gross income from all sources
(including excluded possession income)
|
|
Your adjusted gross income equals your gross income minus certain deductions (adjustments).
Moving expense deduction.
Generally, expenses of a move to a possession are directly attributable to wages, salaries, and other earned income
from that possession. Likewise,
the expenses of a move back to the United States are generally attributable to U.S. earned income.
If you are claiming expenses for a move to a relevant possession, how and where you will deduct the expenses depends
on your status as a bona fide
resident and if any of your possession income is excluded on your U.S. tax return. For more information, see Moving expense deduction in
chapter 3 under the name of the relevant possession.
If you are claiming expenses for a move from a U.S. possession to the United States, use Form 3903 to figure your
deductible expenses and enter the
amount on Form 1040, line 26. For purposes of deducting moving expenses, the possessions are considered part of the United
States. See Publication
521, Moving Expenses, for information about what expenses are deductible.
Self-employment tax deduction.
Generally, if you are reporting self-employment income on your U.S. return, you can deduct one-half of your self-employment
tax on Form 1040, line
27. This is an income tax deduction only; it is not a deduction in figuring net earnings from self-employment (for self-employment
tax).
However, if you are a bona fide resident of American Samoa or Puerto Rico and you exclude all of your self-employment
income from gross income, you
cannot take the deduction on Form 1040, line 27, because the deduction is related to excluded income.
If only part of your self-employment income is excluded, the part of the deduction that is based on the nonexcluded
income is allowed. This would
happen if, for instance, you have two businesses and only the income from one of them is excludable.
Figure the self-employment tax on the nonexcluded income by multiplying your total self-employment tax (from Schedule
SE) by the following
fraction.
| |
Self-employment income
subject to U.S. income tax
|
|
| |
Total self-employment income
(including excluded possession income)
|
|
The result is your self-employment tax on nonexcluded income. Deduct one-half of this amount on Form 1040, line 27.
Individual retirement arrangement (IRA) deduction.
Do not take excluded income into account when figuring your deductible IRA contribution.
The standard deduction and the additional standard deduction for taxpayers who are blind or age 65 or over do not apply to
any particular type of
income. To find the amount you can claim on Form 1040, line 40, multiply your standard deduction by the following fraction.
| |
Gross income subject to U.S. income tax
|
|
| |
Gross income from all sources
(including excluded possession income)
|
|
In the space above line 40, enter “Standard deduction modified due to income excluded under section 931 (if American Samoa) or 933 (if
Puerto Rico).”
Make this computation before you determine if you must file a U.S. tax return, because the minimum income level at which you
must file a return is
based, in part, on the standard deduction for your filing status. See Filing Requirement if Possession Income Is Excluded
, beginning on
page 15.
Most itemized deductions do not apply to a particular type of income. However, itemized deductions can be divided into three
categories.
-
Those that apply specifically to excluded income, such as employee business expenses, are not deductible.
-
Those that apply specifically to income subject to U.S. income tax, which might also be employee business expenses, are fully
allowable
under the instructions for Schedule A (Form 1040).
-
Those that do not apply to specific income must be allocated between your gross income subject to U.S. income tax and your
total gross
income from all sources.
The example below shows how to figure the deductible part of each type of expense that is not related to specific income.
Example.
In 2006, you and your spouse are both under 65 and U.S. citizens who are bona fide residents of Puerto Rico during the entire
tax year. You file a
joint income tax return. During 2006, you earned $15,000 from Puerto Rican sources (excluded from U.S. gross income) and your
spouse earned $45,000
from the U.S. Government. You have $16,000 of itemized deductions that do not apply to any specific type of income. These
are medical expenses of
$4,000, real estate taxes of $5,000, home mortgage interest of $6,000, and charitable contributions of $1,000 (cash contributions).
You determine the
amount of each deduction that you can claim on your Schedule A (Form 1040) by multiplying the deduction by the fraction shown
under Figuring the
deduction, earlier.

(enter on line 15

|
|
Enter on Schedule A (Form 1040) only the allowable portion of each deduction.
Personal exemptions are allowed in full even if you are excluding possession income. However, depending upon your adjusted
gross income and filing
status, the amount you can deduct may be reduced (phased out). See the instructions for Form 1040, line 42.
Foreign Tax Credit if Possession Income Is Excluded
If you must report possession source income on your U.S. tax return, you can claim a foreign tax credit for income taxes paid
to the possession on
that income. However, you cannot claim a foreign tax credit for taxes paid on possession income that is excluded on your U.S.
tax return. The foreign
tax credit is generally figured on Form 1116.
If you have income, such as U.S. Government wages, that is not excludable, and you also have possession source income that
is excludable, you must
figure the credit by reducing your foreign taxes paid or accrued by the taxes based on the excluded income. You make this
reduction for each separate
income category. To find the amount of this reduction, use the following formula for each income category.
|
Excluded income from possession sources less deductible expenses based on that income
|
x
|
Tax paid or accrued to the possession
|
=
|
Reduction in foreign taxes
|
|
Total income subject to possession tax less deductible expenses based on that income
|
Enter the amount of the reduction on Form 1116, line 12.
For more information on the foreign tax credit, see Publication 514.
Example.
Jason and Lynn Reddy are U.S. citizens who were bona fide residents of Puerto Rico during all of 2006. They file a joint tax
return. The following
table shows their excludable and taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Jason and Lynn must file 2006 income tax returns with both Puerto Rico and the United States. They have gross income of $26,000
for U.S. tax
purposes. They paid taxes to Puerto Rico of $4,000. The tax on their wages is $3,980 and the tax on the dividend from the
Puerto Rican corporation is
$20. They figure their foreign tax credit on two Forms 1116, which they must attach to their U.S. return. They fill out one
Form 1116 for wages and
one Form 1116 for the dividend. Jason and Lynn figure the Puerto Rican taxes on excluded income as follows.
| |
Wages: ($15,000 ÷ $40,000) × $3,980 = $1,493
|
| |
Dividend: ($200 ÷ $200) × $20 = $20
|
They enter $1,493 on Form 1116, line 12, for wages and $20 on the second Form 1116, line 12, for the dividend.
You may find that not all of your income tax has been paid through withholding by either the United States or the possession.
This is often true if
you have income that is not subject to withholding, such as self-employment, interest, or rental income. In this situation,
you may need to make
estimated tax payments.
If your estimated income tax obligation is to the United States, use the worksheet in the Form 1040-ES package to figure your
estimated tax,
including self-employment tax. If you are paying by check or money order, use the payment vouchers in the Form 1040-ES package.
Or, you can make your
payments electronically and not have to file any paper forms. See the Form 1040-ES instructions for information on making
payments.
Self-employment tax includes both social security and Medicare taxes for individuals who are self-employed.
A U.S. citizen or resident alien who is self-employed must pay self-employment tax on net self-employment earnings of $400
or more. This rule
applies whether or not the earnings are excludable from gross income (or whether or not a U.S. income tax return must otherwise
be filed). Bona fide
residents of the possessions discussed in this publication are considered U.S. residents for this purpose and are subject
to the self-employment tax.
If you must file Form 1040 with the United States, figure your self-employment tax on Schedule SE (Form 1040) and attach it
to your Form 1040.
If you are a bona fide resident of American Samoa, the CNMI, Guam, Puerto Rico, or the USVI who has net self-employment income,
and you do not have
to file Form 1040 with the United States, use Form 1040-SS to figure your self-employment tax.
If you are a resident of Puerto Rico, you can file Form 1040-PR instead of Form 1040-SS. Form 1040-PR is the Spanish-language
version of Form
1040-SS.
Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases.
While you are a debtor in a chapter 11 bankruptcy case, your net profit or loss from self-employment will be included
on the income tax return
(Form 1041) of the bankruptcy estate. However, you—not the bankruptcy estate—are responsible for paying self-employment tax
on your net
earnings from self-employment.
Use Schedule SE (Form 1040), Form 1040-SS, or Form 1040-PR, as appropriate, to figure your correct amount of self-employment
tax.
For other reporting requirements, see page 22 in the instructions for Form 1040.
Mutual agreement procedures exist to settle issues where there is inconsistent tax treatment between the IRS and the taxing
authorities of the
following possessions.
These issues usually involve allocations of income, deductions, credits, or allowances between related persons; determinations
of residency; and
determinations of the source of income and related expenses.
The tax coordination agreements contain provisions allowing the competent authorities of the United States and the relevant
possession to resolve,
by mutual agreement, inconsistent tax treatment by the two jurisdictions.
Send your written request for assistance under this procedure to:
Director, International (LMSB)
Attn: Office of Tax Treaty
Internal Revenue Service
1111 Constitution Avenue, N.W.
Routing: MA3-322A
Washington, DC 20224
Note.
Nonresident aliens generally must present their initial request for assistance to the relevant possession tax agency.
Contents of Written Request
