You are normally allowed until April 15th to file last year's taxes or to request an extension of time to file. Although I am not an accountant, you would not appear to me to be delinquent on your taxes at the present time and your answer would likely be "no". If you file your N-400 naturalization application before April 15th, it would appear to me that a "no" answer is proper. The intent of the naturalization form’s general questions is to determine good moral character, and it would not seem that U.S.C.I.S. is intent upon learning about persons who have not paid advances on taxes as much as it is interested in persons who have clearly violated the tax codes.

There is no specific time you need to stay outside of the United States, but it's not recommended that you enter too soon since the admitting officer could use that againts you to deny your next entry.

There actually is no fundamental right of U.S. citizens to leave their country and return home again. Under current Supreme Court precedents, the right to travel abroad is merely an aspect of liberty that may be restricted within the bounds of due process.  Some have argued that the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment grants this right, but no court has yet decided that issue.
