Did ustax.bz also tell you that if you are self-employed, you still need to file quarterly with the US, unless you are in a country with a totalitization treaty with the US?

unless you earn less than $400/yr.

Self-employed taxpayers are supposed to file quarterlies regardless of where they live. If you don’t you get a penalty assessed. And yes, ustax.bz told me that, but I already knew.
