Good Evening
Nothing to do with aviation I'm afraid but something that could affect a number of us. The IRS are interested in our offspring born in the USA. A new vigour in pursuing tax avoidance has roped in 'Accidental Americans' who may have only lived there for a few months after birth before returning home to the UK. ( google Boris Johnson and the IRS and see what effect it had on him ) My daughter discovered it when applying for a new bank account and was asked if she was a US citizen. The bank must inform the IRS if you answer yes. It would appear that they( the individual) are required to submit tax returns to the IRS. I am wading through pages of IRS stuff and on-line resources for the correct gen. but I thought I'd ask here in case any one affected has any experience to share. With comedic timing, the price of renouncing your citizenship has gone up from a few hundred bucks to a few thousand.....
