Re: Filing US Tax return

I would suggest reading IRS Publication 54, it explains most everything.

If this is the first year abroad, if partial year, the important thing is to make sure she qualifies for the foreign income/housing exclusion/deduction by either the physical presence test or bona fide residence test, then it is just like filling out the normal paperwork. That is assuming there is nothing too difficult like owning business or being self employed, etc.
