<prompt> Human: I moved from Texas to Mexico City back in August of 2009 so the last time I filed taxes was in 2010 for what I worked up until July of 2009. I struck a deal with my dad that he would pay tuition and all expenses so I could go to medical school. I didnt start receiving a paycheck until 2014 when I started my internship but the checks were only about 33.00 biweekly at todays exchange rate. Then in 2015 I did my year of social service in a rural community receiving a paycheck of about 82.00 biweekly. Ive been working the past 18 months at a hospital that is paying me well above the average for a general physician so my average monthly income is about 1300. Im currently finishing a masters and waiting to start a medical specialty in the next few months. My dad has been supporting me with medical school and my masters. Sorry if the introduction is too long but I feel it adds context to my situation. How do I go about putting my taxes in order? As far as I know my dad claims the money he spent on tuition and the expenses in his tax reports. I havent had a real job until fairly recently but from what I understand I could claim a foreign income exemption o credit and that covers income up to 50,000 dollars. I have an accountant that handles my taxes here in México but he has no idea how to deal with or who can help me with US tax reporting. I know there are services that can handle taxes for expats but honestly I feel theyre expensive and I dont think I need that since I havent had an actual significant jobincome in the past 8 years, aside from the money my dad sent me for tuition and expenses. I want to be sure that I have no problems with the IRS because I need the option open to move back to the states after I finish a subspecialty and to facilitate processing a fiancée visa for my significant other.
