Kiddo,
You've mistaken filing for taxes to paying your income tax. It's true that you're legally required to file for taxes no matter where you live.
But an American doesn't need to pay income taxes on an income of less than 95 grand. Essentially, you will only get taxed unless you make that much.
Also, why'd you assume that those that want dual citizenship wish to live in Nepal?
Over the past 2 months, I've met more than 15 American Nepalese in Nepal. Almost all of them are naturalized US citizens but live in Nepal because they saw US citizenship as a safety net. And yes, that's the biggest reason why most immigrants, despite having a green card, wish to naturalize as they can stay out of the US for as long as they wanted without facing problem returning home.
