If I live in Nicaragua, do I still have to file my US taxes?

If you are living in Nicaragua you must still file a US tax return. Whether you owe taxes or not is a different story. Under Section 911 of the US tax code some forms and amounts of income are excluded, but no matter what, a return must be filed every year.
