More details to this question:
Dear All, I have a question regarding tax. I am a US Citizen and currently employed outside the States filing my taxes regularly. My earnings outside the US, fall under the exemption bracket. For last year, I have met the continuous residency test and my owing taxes was zero USD. This year I am planning to move back to the States in September and find a new job. My question is, since I will be not eligible for the continuous residence, do I still need to pay taxes for my earnings this year outside the states?

If your income is below the filing requirement for a federal income tax return, you will not need to file a return.

As a US citizen, you are liable for income taxes on all income you earn, including income you earn outside the United States. I strongly suggest you talk to a tax preparer about the specifics of your situation. It is not possible to give individualized legal or tax advice in a public forum like this, and without knowing much, much more about how much you have earned, where you earned it, and where you are domiciled for tax purposes.
