AnyL12 questioned:
I received my green card on august… and I’m not living in usa yet. (I’m still looking for a job, place to live, etc…) ok, my question is:
do i have to file income taxes even if i live outside of usa???
If i started working in usa for a company, are they going be the ones to file/send the income taxes for me or i have to do by myself?

Yes it is a MUST to fill your taxes every year even if you’re not in the country, as a permanent resident if you forget to fill your income tax you lose your residency, you can do it by yourself with one of those computer programs like turbotax or you can pay someone to do it for you like H&R block is a reliable company, all your company is going to do is send you a W-4 form that indicates how much money you made with them etc etc…

The company will provide a W-2 to you at the end of the tax year, showing your income and taxes withheld (you fill out a W-9 on being hired, or one is made for you). It is your responsibility to file a return, but if you are without employment you just fill it in with 0s. You will also need to apply for a Social Secirity number (an ITIN is for someone without current ability to get a Social Security number).
There is even a 1040NR form, for non-residents filing taxes…
