dual nationality taxes! (transfer, income, obligation)

[Tahlawi]

I have dual nationality, I'm U.S citizen by birth. I grow up out of the State and I just came back to complete my study, Now I don't have any income just my father transfer a money for me every month and he paid for my school. I'll have soon Scholarship from out of the State.

what is my issue in Taxes, do I need to file it or not even if I don't have any income or job until now?

Thanks

There are INCOME taxes, WAGE Taxes, and PROPERTY taxes, apparently you have none of those. You are a dependent of your father so any obligation would be his. I sort of object to the state giving you a scholarship but that is up to the people of that state

Depends on where your dual citizenship is. If the US has an income tax treaty with the country, you'll need to consult the treaty tie-breaker rules to see who gets primary taxing jurisdiction over you.

If not a treaty country, the US would probably assert primary taxing jurisdiction, which means on your worldwide income, by the way. Go see a professional if you really want to know the answer.
