At least one astronaut forgot to file until they had left for a moon mission.
Astronauts on the International Space Station are subject to taxes of their home jurisdictions, as best as our research indicates. But do check with a tax professional if you're in such a situation.NASA astronauts typically file taxes before they go to space, agency spokesperson Jay Bolden told Space.com in 2014. That is especially crucial given ISS missions typically last for at least six months at a time, and may be extended with short notice as missions or operations change.
Filing from space is not easy, or advisable."While there are internet capabilities aboard the ISS, and it is 'technically feasible' it's not especially practical,"."An action like that would require substantial forethought to preprogram laptop computer with tax software or have CD uploaded with tax software info."
Even though the ISS has slightly faster internet today, the connections are prioritized for science experiments or manufacturing and presumably can be a little tricky, given space is a remote environment. There also may be security concerns in uploading secure information from the space station. Astronauts may be able to file for extensions from space if their stay is unexpected or lengthened, for example Astronaut Leroy Chiao asked his sister, an accountant, to file an extension on his behalf to the IRS in 2005,. He landed nine days after tax day and one of his first duties at home was to catch up on taxes.
"You do have to anticipate everything," Chiao said of the family or civic responsibilities astronauts may face in space while being gone for months, including voting, birthdays, anniversaries or holiday celebrations.
