How much taxes do I owe? I am a US citizen working for France Embassy. I make 20K a year?


of course don't withhold taxes, they're french (i.e., not employers). don't think qualify "foreign earned income" exclusion, if live in united states.

"back of envelope" calculation suggests $1200 in federal taxes each year, plus 25% failure-to-file/pay penalty 2005 , 2006, plus compounded interest @ approximately 7% due date. may liable state income taxes.

none of applies if work @ france embassy in third country. third country may tax you, you're exempt taxes on income, although not on investments.

us-france tax treaties may relevant whether you're considered self-employed under law, though you're employee under french law.

i have not filed past 3 years. did not know required. no 1 files @ embassy. irs should let know need file or embassy should take out of checks.
