So let's say you live in Canada, work in Canada, and you pay Canadian taxes.
Despite that, you could still owe taxes to the United States if you have connections to the US that make you a US person from the perspective of the Internal Revenue Service.
For example, for tax purposes a US person could be summoned with a joint US-Canadian citizenship, someone whose parent is a US citizen, or even someone who just works a certain number of days in the United States.
If you fall into one of those categories, or any others, you should find out if you need to file and pay US income tax.
You can get more information by going to the website irs.gov and talk to a financial advisor or talk to a US tax specialist.
Bottom line-- don't neglect it.
Ignoring the fact that you may owe US taxes can complicate matters and cost you.
