Best Answer

US citizens are liable for payment of US income tax on all their income, not just their income from US sources. If the IRS audits you, or through other means learns that you have not filed, they will seek to obtain the taxes due and any appropriate interest and fines. However, if you live in a country that also taxes your income in some fashion, there are often off-set provisions through which the IRS credits you for payment of taxes to the other country and only seeks tax payment where the amount due to the US Government exceeds what you actually payed to the other jurisdiction(s).
