I'm well aware of the tax
situation and an audit is more of a pain than sending in a quick form.
This is also why I keep a copy of my contract. I work in Cairo, you? You do have to send in the form as I do every year, and I earn a lot less than $75.000 a year. You have to send the form regardless of where you are or earn your money. Only if it is less than $75000 you don´t PAY anything. Beware because if you ever go back to the States they won´t forget you and you will have to spend money on accountants to prove your earnings while abroad!

When, as a teacher, I am
paid in excess of 75,000 a year, I will send in the form with a smile on my
face. You do have to pay if you eran more than $75.000 a year! Beware!

As for the teaching end
of it, I worked with a Fulbright teacher from the former Soviet Union while in
the States...she loved it. However, as an American, I obtained employment
overseas through private organizations, and do not have to pay US Federal
Income Tax as a result. Much better deal in my opinion, Fulbright's just
a teaser. > The Fulbright Scholar
