Yellowing can have many causes; overwatering, lack of major nutrients (usually nitrogen), lack of minor nutrients (chlorosis from lack of iron or copper), etc.  It's hard to know without seeing the plant.

One thing you will want to do is keep the plant misted.  Citrus (and most plants native to the humid tropics) need a lot of humidity to maintain good health.  This is difficult to do indoors during the winter.  If you have a humidifier, use it, and place it near the plant.  If you do not keep the environment humid enough, you may suffer infestations of scale or white flies, or a dropping of leaves.

Subject: Re: [NAFEX] myers lemons

I have a myers lemon. It spent the summer outside in a pot, and now it's in
my south facing window, and for the first time it actually has lemons on it!
Hooray! It also has flowers, which seems weird. It has every stage of
fruiting going on at once! But some of the leaves have yellow, so I am
concerned that I need to feed the soil. Anyone else have a lemon? Do you
know what sort of soil it needs? Acid or alkaline? Any special requirements
I should know about? Any special tricks? Thanks!
