Unlike almost every other country across the globe, the United States follows a citizenshipbased/worldwide income tax model for individuals who are considered U.S. Persons for tax purposes. That means that taxpayers who are considered U.S. persons for tax purposes are required to report their worldwide income on their annual U.S. tax return. This is true, even if the taxpayer is a foreign resident and earning all of their income from foreign sources.
