Hey Guys,
After having spent 5 years in the US as a resident alien (under various visas), I left the US in sep-2004 to settle back in Belgium, my home country.

I have filed US taxes last year, in April 2005, for income of the year 2004, which included:
- a federal form 1040 with schedule 2 (interest income), schedule E (I had a business which closed when I left), form 1116 (foreign tax credit), form 4797 (sale of business property), form 8812 (child tax credit)
- a California tax return 540NR

I have had no income in the US in the year 2005, except for:
- a federal tax refund (following my April 2005 return)
- a California state tax refund (following my April 2005 return)

I have been trying to understand how long I have to keep filing tax return in the US, and I'm getting completely confused:
- do I still have to file taxes this year, and next year?
- if yes, what forms, and what should I include on those forms ?
- Forms 1040NR, 1040NR-EZ, 1040-C, 2063 .... Help ???

There must be other people who have been in a similar situation. Can anyone help ?
Good luck
