Get your taxes done using TurboTax

She does!  All US persons must declare all income from any sources foreign or domestic.  But you can also take a deduction for any foreign taxes paid.  Your wife can pay the taxes abroad and then take a deduction for the taxes that she pays over here.  If the US taxes on what she earns are higher then she'll still owe a little.  If the foreign taxes are higher then she'll have an extra credit.  Either way she avoids paying the same taxes twice.
