NO Evidence of Intent to apply the “”Transition Tax” to Small Business Corporations of #AmericansAbroad
It appears that we are very likely at a breaking point in this intolerable situation faced by expatriates as regards U.S. application of citizenship-based taxation. Tax reform does not happen often. It is critical that relief for expats occur in the current legislation.

Renouncing for some is excruciating & not because of the emotional ties
Barbara left the following comment at Brock earlier today. Her story is different in that she lives in a lower-tax based country (easier to owe US tax) where gaining citizenship is very difficult, if not impossible.
