Pension Taxes in Thailand

I have looked at this issue many times in many ways.

As a US citizen you are required to file every year. Some people do not think so.

As a generally a person who makes $25k US a year will not be taxed.

You do have to report all income to the IRS regardless of where the money comes from i.e. domestic vs. international source.

I too get a government pension and Social Security income. I am required to report all income, even if I am living in Thailand. If that income is above the ceiling then I do have to pay tax on it. As I have read the US is one of the few or only countries in which they reach out to their citizens for tax's no matter where in the world they live. This is something I have read, so I am only the messenger. I'm too old to be concerned about someone's discontent.

Also Medicare is not applicable. However your out of pocket medical expenses are deductible. There is health insurance available. The annual premium seems to be about $2.5 k per year, maybe per person. That too would be deductible. Look for deductibles.

Then again you may have your own individual situation that negates some of this.
