IRS filing for US expats is antiquated, which is why so many Americans living abroad don’t bother with it. I’m sure the IRS would agree and welcome changes to the requirement. The allowance before you owe Uncle Sam tax is reasonably generous, and there is probably no requirement from your foreign employer abroad to provide the IRS with data, so you might be able to get away with filing your own returns. If leaving the US for good, watch out for the exit tax.
