If you're from the US, you have to file a US tax return, wherever you live, even if you pay taxes locally.

It's the only country in the world that forces its citizens to do so (besides Eritrea), which is why record numbers of people who don't live in the US are giving up their US citizenship.
If you actually have residency in some country, then you probably need to pay taxes there. But if you're actually being a 'nomad', are you going to be anywhere that long?

Find one, then; ask your friends for recommendations. If you are a US citizen, then there is likely a tax treaty between the country you are a resident in and the US. You need an accountant that knows about this. I'd be happy to recommend one for Italy.
