AccidentalUS

Was an Accidental American, but was fed up with the compliance nightmare it brought to my family. Many $$ later renounced, but still want to support change.

@Malichi2067 And I just discovered that for the sum of $2350 they could not even spell my name right and I need to go through the process of getting a new one, wonder how long it will take!

@QueenofSpain @CrossBriton @Keith__REDMOND @manoraic @TXabroad @DemsAbroad @SenAmyKlobuchar No it is not you do talk about a shift to #RBT but then become passive in your recommendations. Your passive recommendations would have still resulted in my expat Mum having experienced the hideous stress and cost the US tax system caused her in her last years. #RBT only solution

@SecYellen @POTUS There is nothing equitable about the US imposing its tax code on people who live in other countries where they already pay taxes. Trying to live under 2 disparate tax codes, being unable to plan for retirement and the constant threat of excessive penalties is unjust. #PFIC #FATCA

I used to be proud to show off my American passport - I used to be proud to say I was born in the US. Little did I know how much stress, anxiety and frustration being a victim of US citizenship would cause me. #FBAR #FATCA #GILTI #PFIC #USA #TAX

@Goldstatetimes So you are saying that you support stealing... The US tax policy means it is stealing tax $ from average expats and unfortunate Accidental Americans, $ hard earnt in their country of residence/dual citizenship with no US basis. + compliance costs. Get your facts right #ENDCBT

[AccidentalUS @AccidentalUS77]

@takingudownU @Joe_Cronin_Jr @DemsAbroad What with, fighting back costs $$ and the US has been stealing our $$ through cost of compliance, double taxation and then for those of us that chose to end the nightmare the renunciation fee. I may have renounced but I still want this immoral stealing to end for others.

RT: @DemsAbroad: 🇺🇸#Americansabroad face taxation both wherever they live AND in the US, paying tax on their worldwide income. The filing of taxes by ordinary #expat families is costly, complex and potentially perilous. See what #DemsAbroad is doing to help! 💵 …

@KJisms @DanielPreus @rayytseng @names_n_stuff My American Mum had lived in NZ for 39 years having come to NZ with nothing, we had to sell our NZ family farm for a govern. roading project and because of US CBT she had to pay the US capital gain on her share despite no US dollars having ever contributed to the farm!!! #ENDCBT

[AccidentallyAmerican @AccidentallyUSC]

Nothing will ever compare to the stress I went though when i was threatened with $10,000 penalties by the US government #FATCA #FBAR #GILTI #PFIC

[AccidentalUS @AccidentalUS77]

@AccidentallyUSC Yes sadly my Mum died with one of those threats hanging over her, I know the stress the US tax system brought to her life in her last years did not help her health, and ffs she had not lived in or earned a $US for 43 years!!!! #ENDCBT

@WSJ From reading this article the title should have been "Expats getting vaccine in US whilst in US for other reasona" propaganda article. Poor journalism.

[AccidentalUS @AccidentalUS77]

@Amysaysfuckalot Fun Fact - if you were born overseas but at least one parent was American, you automatically are a US citizen and even though you may have never lived in the US or earned any US money you are expected to file US tax returns and could end up owing tax to the US with zero in return

[AccidentalUS @AccidentalUS77]

@AbroadSave @ccoste2 @demsabroadbe @SecBlinken @DemsAbroad This hits home for me, I classed myself an #AccidentalAmerican, but prior to tax return and #FATCA hell I was proud of my dual citizenship, it allowed connection with half my ancestry, but the way the US treats nonresident citizens is disgusting and renouncing was the only option

[AccidentalUS @AccidentalUS77]

@ustaxfs @ExpatriationLaw Yip here we go, and the articles the other week said the change of government would change expats and #accididentamericans decisions and we would no longer want to renounce, eh wrong, start of a slippery slope towards further tax punishment END #CBT.

[AccidentalUS @AccidentalUS77]

@nielsen_robert @JCDoubleTaxed @USCByAccident A very familiar nightmare dealing with my Mums estate. Has anyone figured out how to deal with these penalties that are in ERROR (same forms) . The stress it brought my Mum and now us when she was a non-resident for 40 plus years is unjust!!

[AccidentalUS @AccidentalUS77]

@Intlowl @CrossBriton @JoshRudes @deskandchair3 @BirthplaceShift As an Accidental American my modest wealth that was "found" through #FATCA had zero and I mean zero to do with the US it was all earned in my country of birth where I continue to live. It is an unfair compliance nightmare for ordinary people.

[AccidentalUS @AccidentalUS77]

@bambridgeaccs Ridiculous article, the talk of some of the ideas Biden had was enough to finalise my decision to renounce. No American president in the last decade has acknowledged overseas Americans issues just made our lives compliance hell.
