Willie,

You can download the 1040 Form for 2005 from the IRS website. You do not have to file an extension. The return is already late. I don't think this is serious problem for you as you work overseas, you may have additional time to file as well.

Depending on your situation, you may also have the advantage of foreign earned income credit that would exclude substantially all of your income from US tax!
