You STILL have to file (and pay, depending on the state) state taxes... which is why a lot of Americans living abroad take residency in Florida (which has no state income tax). ;)

Also, you automatically receive a 2 month extension for filing (not paying... any money owed is due on the 15th), and you can apply for an additional 2 month extension with this document.

Don't forget, to be considered "out of the country", you must be residing outside of the U.S. for 330 of 365 days in that tax year (short vacations home don't count against you).

Unfortuantely, I'm too proud to be from California to change my state residency. :wink:

From govspot.com:

Seven states have no state income tax: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming. Two others, New Hampshire and Tennessee, tax only dividend and interest income.

Non-UK residents are not normally liable to UK tax on overseas income.

As far as I know, if you have no US income (or de minimus US income), it's not really necessary to file your California state returns (although it still would be necessary to file your federal returns). That's not a legal conclusion, but rather a practical one. I can't remember the exact reason why, but that's the gist of the advice I have received from the guy who did my taxes.

Pennsylvania doesn't incur taxes on those who work overseas.
