#Americansabroad in #FBARMarriage who would become "covered expatriates" because of an inheritance from the non-US spouse should consider #citizide (renouncing US citizenship) quick time. You can't be in a position where either renoucing or selling the home means massive US tax.

#Americansabroad often remain US citizens bc NOT currently paying US taxes - mistake: "Why #Americansabroad cannot be in a situation where either selling principal residence or renunciation will lead to erosion of retirement savings. https://t.co/U34tPTBLpK via @ExpatriationLaw

@ExpatriationLaw @ZachExpat @USTransitionTax You said it John. If I hadn’t tried to file I’d probably still be a US citizen. #Citizide is the punishment for those stupid enough to attempt to do the right thing. #DumbLikeMe #FATCA

[Considering renouncing US citizenship? @Citizide]

Why should #Americansabroad be subjected to taxation that is more punitive than the tax system applied to Homeland Americans?

[John Richardson - Counsellor for US persons abroad @ExpatriationLaw]

@clueit @hijodelibertad @andygr @FixTheTaxTreaty @nytopinion Yes, well #expats are also subjected to what is in effect a separate and far more punitive tax system than Homelanders. Look at it this way, when it comes to US taxation: Homelanders just don't pay their #fairshare!

@eddie_ginger @Keith__REDMOND @Carmelan @DemsAbroad @SolomonYue @aaro @ACAVoice @FAWCO @MonteSilver1 A big reason for expat tax problems is the combination of:

1. Laws being required to pay for themselves (at least in theory and in fiction; and

2. Expats being a politically powerless minority - meaning we can pretend to get expats to pay for everything.

Injustice irrelevant!
