How do mutual fund investments affect my taxes?

Do I need to claim the interest earned from the fund in my income taxes if my investments don't exceed a specific amount? Additional factors include the following: I'm an American living in Thailand, earning Thai baht. I'm not on a work permit so therefor I'm "off the books" so to speak.

I think you need to check with your tax preparer. Any advise offered here would not take into full account your overall tax record and therefore could not be 100% accurate.

Good luck!
