US Citizens Living in the UK
Depending on your circumstances, your US tax return must be filed annually by 15th April, or if living overseas, a 2-month extension to 15th June may apply to file your return.
If you also have more than the equivalent of US$10,000 in savings or in other financial assets outside of the US, you will have to file a FinCEN 114
(Foreign Bank Account Report) annually.

All of the above have a bearing on the taxation of your income be it in the UK, the US, or both.
