Wendy McElroy has written an interesting article describing the means by which one would be stopped at the border due to a tax debt. In spite of how frightened everyone is about crossing the border, there is at least one factor that a majority of expats would not meet and that is, having a sizeable tax debt. Mere non-compliance appears not to be a strong enough condition to warrant use of some of the more stringent methods available such as passport check,TECS, FBAR, or Consumer Credit eports.
