Dual Citizens: Green Cards

Unpaid Taxes Dept: Now the choices left for those who let the deadline slip by are even worse, according to Vancouver Sun. The issue is penalties - huge when the "amnesty" was in effect, and much larger now that it has ended - for failing to file pieces of paper with the Internal Revenue Service bureaucrats and before a so-called amnesty expired on Sept. 9, the options were bleak for hundreds of thousands of "U.S. persons" living in Canada - mostly American or dual citizens, plus some others with immigration green cards or part-time U.S. homes - who hadn't filed regular tax returns or asset declarations to the IRS. The issue isn't unpaid taxes. The people I'm writing about do not, and most of them never have, owed the American government a penny in income tax. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
