If banks in your country are becoming difficult, do option 2 then you have the CLN if they ever ask.
Avoid 3 and 4, especially since you don’t think you were ever reported under FATCA and have no SSN. You will never hear from the IRS after renouncing, is my guess.
Alternatively stay with option 1 and if the bank discovers the US birthplace, you claim not to be a US citizen because “my father was a diplomat”.
Dina — First don’t rush into anything.
Second — don’t rush into anything.
Third — don’t rush into anything.
If you do decide to file, retain control of the information. Meaning YOU decide what information goes to your tax professional. Do not just hand over your personal finances to them. YOU decide if they need to know about that house, that rental income, etc. If you decide to file, you can feed them sanitised data for easy consumption. Proceeding this way you become “compliant” (since being compliant is both costly and impossible).
Portland,
i don’t plan to visit there. i have relatives, but they can me at Europe, or push their government to stop being evil.
where can i find the renunciation thread? thanks!
Nonoymous,
what do you mean by “my father was a diplomat”? he was not.
@Dina. Nonymous is just saying lie to your bank that your father was a diplomat not that he was one. Lol. Please stop confusing people. @Dina read Fred(B)’s 3 advices. Do things very carefully. I don’t want to say what you should do. It’s up to you.
@Dina when a diplomat works in any country he or she takes his/her family with him or her usually. So you could be a the daughter of a diplomat born in USA who worked there. Just make up a lie to the bank. Are they really going to check whether you are one or not ? I think some people here on this blog are new and you are confusing them more.
The only people born in the US who are not automatically granted (and are not entitled to) US citizenship are the children of diplomats. So if you have a US birthplace and the bank thinks you are a US citizen, you can lie and say “no I’m not, my father/mother was a diplomat” and they can’t exactly prove otherwise. It might work.
OK, got it. thanks.
i’m so proud of my parents suddenly. didn’t realize till this very moment they were so important to my country.
We honour their service!
If either of them wore an officer’s uniform, they were obviously military attaches. That counts too.
@Nononymous (or Nonoymous)
Have you changed the spelling of your moniker? Or maybe your computer changed it without your knowledge?? An inquiring mind just has to know!
Hi Dina and Welcome!
Here’s the Renunciation thread. Take slow deep breaths and wait for your personal solution to come into focus. The path is not straight forward for anyone thanks to the USA’s aptitude for hypocrisy, convolution and vengence. http://isaacbrocksociety.ca/renunciation/
