Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You are considered a US Citizen but a non resident.  Because you are a US Citizen for tax purposes, even though you don't live here, you are taxed like you do live here.  However, since you do not live here, there are certain credits that are limited or not available to you like the additional child tax credit if you had a qualifying child.
