I am a USC married to a Brit citizen and living in England. I am trying to get my taxes in order since filing for my husband's I-130. I was told by a tax preparer here in the UK that since I have not worked in the UK the last 4 years, it would not be necessary that I file my taxes for the last 3 years? Can someone else confirm this?

Also, Can someone please confirm if I will need to complete Foreign Bank Account Report? My husband and I have a joint UK bank account. We had a PPI refund that exceeded $10,000 and was held in our UK bank account in 2012. When do I need to do the report for this?

I am an American originally from Mississippi. Met my British husband in 1996. Married in 2004. Have lived in the UK for 9 years. We have two children. Hoping to move back to the USA with my husband, twins, two cats and dog in tow. 22 Oct 2013: Mailed I-130 application to DCE- London Embassy25 Oct 2013: Noticed application fee processed on my credit card.25 Oct 2013: NOA1 received (found in spam folder)19 Nov 2013: NOA2 received22 Nov 2013: Visa Interview Checklist arrived via post.25 Nov 2013:Completed DS-260 electronic application25 Nov 2013: Visa Interview Checklist Complete9 Dec 2013:Medical Examination13 Dec 2013: Submission of the notification of applicant readiness form 8 January 2014: Interview date assigned at Embassy in London 23 January 2014: Interview APPROVED! :-)<p>1 June 2014: Port of entry:NC

If you earned no money, whether in the US or abroad, there is no requirement to file because there is no income to tax.

The FBAR is a report to the Treasury Dept, not income tax, and would be filed if all your money addeded together exceeded $10k during the year. It is due June 30 to report for the previous year.
