I looked up and found that an American Citizen is any person living in the U.S.
A U.S. Citizen is one who pays taxes, knows how to read and has a drivers licence.
Any additional info?

An American citizen and a United States citizen are the same thing.
You may be getting confused over "persons" protected by the United States Constitution as compared to actual "citizens" who are either born here, born abroad of citizen parents, or naturalized.
"Persons" in the constitutional sense can include aliens living in the United States and even corporations.
Although these "persons" are protected in our Constitution, that does not mean that they are citizens.

The difference "between an American Citizen and an American Citizen" -- nothing. Both are American Citizens.
8 USC 1101 of the US Code defines a citizen of the United States of America. The terms "US citizen" and "American citizen" are both abbreviations and shorthand for the formal title.
There are differences between a citizen and a national -- and between those and a legal resident. See again Title 8.

There is no such thing as an American Citizen. People can be Citizens of their respective state Republics, but the Constitution for the United States of America was an agreement between the several state Republics, not an agreement between the federal government and the people.
A US citizen is a second-class, subject-class federal citizen who has forfeited all Constitutionally secured, God-given rights in exchange for civil rights and immunities. It was meant to apply to emancipated slaves following Lincoln's war of aggression against the southern states, but has since that time served to rob Americans of our way of life, our money and our freedom.

There is no difference. America and the United States (U.S.) of America are the same place, therefore citizens of each are one in the same.
