If you're a foreigner working in the U.S., or a Kenyan living abroad, you might be wondering — do I really have to file U.S. taxes?

In this video, we explain who must file U.S. tax returns, including non-resident aliens, foreigners with 1099 income, and those doing freelance or side hustles. Even if you're not a U.S. citizen, the IRS still requires you to report income — and yes, that includes remote work, contract jobs, and digital services.

We also break down what happens if you don’t file U.S. taxes as a foreigner, especially if you received a 1099 form, and how the IRS tracks your income even if it’s small.
