Inquire about Status for Resident for Tax Purposes

[sayegh]

Hi,

As F1 student whom stay in US for over five years, I had to filed tax as resident for tax purposes last year. I left US last July 2019. But, I didn't close my US saving bank account. Do US have exit tax ? Do I need filed my tax return annually if I have US bank account ?

If you had earned income before you left the US then you will have to file a 2019 tax return if your worldwide income exceeds the filing threshold. For the future, you shouldn't have to file a US tax return annually. Most likely the bank will request the form  W-8BEN to be filled out. Please see Taxation of Nonresident Aliens for additional details.
