As a U.S. Citizen living in Australia, you will need to file twice



  • You must file an Australian return because you live here.
  • You must file a U.S. return because you are a U.S. citizen. As an American citizen, you must file U.S. Form 1040 every year, reporting your worldwide income


This doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have to pay taxes to both countries. There are several mechanisms available that may prevent you from being double taxed. At H&R Block, we understand the tax complexities of U.S. citizens living abroad.
