I am a retired, former US resident, living in Spain and receiving a US pension. What forms should I fill to file my tax return?

Hello,

I am a US legal alien, currently living in Spain and receiving a US pension.

What forms should I fill to file my tax return?

To date, I have received no documentation from the IRS as to what my earnings and retentions have been during the past year. I can calculate however. Should I wait for such documentation before filing?


Thanks,

Michelle

This page from the IRS tells you exactly what to do in your situation. 

You won't receive documentation of earnings from the IRS; rather, you'll receive it from whomever pays you.  Income statements, such as W-2s and 1099s, are not required to be in the mail before January 31 and February 28, respectively.  If you're expecting these income statements, then you should wait for them as long as possible.
