Are you a resident alien or a nonresident alien? The fact that you are not currently in the U.S. does not necessarily mean that you are a nonresident alien. If you're not sure which you are, see "Nonresident Alien or Resident Alien?" in IRS Publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens. A resident alien is treated the same as a U.S. citizen for income tax purposes, files the same type of tax return as a citizen, and is entitled to a stimulus payment.
