IRS filing , income tax

[usasonal]

Hi,

I received GC card in Aug 2016, but not staying USA for more than 30 days in 2016. Is it must to must tax return in USA ? even though I have no income in USA. I stay in California.

Congratulations on becoming a permanent resident.

If you are single under the age of 65, you are required to file a 2016 tax return if your gross income (from all worldwide sources) is $10,350.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Green Card holders and U.S. citizens are required to file worldwide income on an income tax return.
