Expat living abroad needs assistance filing 2021
Hey friends.
Let me know if I'm doing anything wrong posting here.
Long story short; I live outside of the USA, moved 2021. I paid my taxes before I moved and did not have a proper income until well into 2022. Due to a mistake on my part, I didn't realize that I needed to file in years that I didn't have taxable income.
I have all of the appropriate numbers for the 2021 year and I want to file things to get caught up. I tried to work with a tax preparer and they said they couldn't file for year 2021. The did however help me complete 2022 to current.
What forms do I have to file myself for 2021 to get them properly filed but obviously late? I don't have assets and my income was zero for the 2021 year. Is it just putting zeroes in the applicable fields in a 2021 dated 1040 and sending it in or is there something more I am missing?
Let me know if anything was unclear, I am happy to clarify. I need to know which forms to file for 2021, where to send it, and if I need to pay anything.
Thank you in advance. I am a rank novice in matters of tax and assistance is welcome.
