The IRS is gonna love you. You are not exempt from filing your taxes just because you live out of the country. I would hire a tax pro, and expect an audit.

Making first tax filing in 20+ years having lived in Mexico the entire time.
Hello - I want to file a tax report this year and I haven't filed in 22 years - the entire time I've lived in Mexico. I'm a 47 yr. old single Mom (child 17)who has not really earned an income in that time. My son had health problems and my boyfriend paid our bills. However, I have been hired for a great job here in Mexico, and I also am the beneficary of an IRA from my mother who just passed away in the amount of 16,500 US. My job will begin in Jan. '08 - the IRA beneficiary account came to me in Dec. '07.
How do I go about filing after such a long gap? Will there be penalties? I have no assets - 100 in the bank, a 17 yr. old car, and no real-estate.
Thanks for your help.
