so, as I understand it, US citizens pay taxes to the gov't regardless of where they live, unless they are in a country with which there are tax treaties. So do 'residents' of the US, who are not 'citizens' pay tax? Here in Canada if you are a deemed or common-law resident, you pay tax, period, regardless of your citizenship status. I was just wondering if the US has something similar.
