A correct statement would be that greencard holders are required to
file under the same conditions as US citizens, that is, if their total
income exceeds a certain amount or their income from self-employment
exceeds a certain amount, etc.

There may also be a Foreign Tax Credit. Between the two, there's a good
chance you owe nothing - but you must file. Trust me, you'll be glad
you did file when Immigration tries to lift your Green Card some day on
the basis that you've abandoned your US residence by living and working
overseas....

As a permanent resident (greencard holder) you are required to file a
tax return whether you are living in the US or not. You must report
your worldwide income and, if necessary, pay any taxed. However, you
may be entitled to the foreign earned income exclusion which could
eliminate any income tax.

Hello all,
I am a US Green Card holder and have lived for the past year outside
US and have been back to US twice in this period (in total I was
present in US during the past year for more than 30 days.) My current
salary is below 80K. Do I need to file my taxes? If yes, do I need to
actually pay any taxes?
I greatly appreciate your response,
Many Thanks,
R Coolali,
