You need to hire a competent tax advisor to be sure. There are primarily two types of taxpayers in the US: residents and non-residents.
What is very important to realize that the tax definition of resident is very different from the immigration definition. In fact, it is entirely possible to at the same time be an illegal immigrant and a tax resident.
If you are a US tax resident, then you have to pay taxes on your worldwide income. If you are a non-resident, then you only have to pay taxes on your income that originates in the USA.
Note that US citizens and Green Card holders are almost always tax residents and therefore required to file a tax return, no matter where they actually live.
