Understanding the Relief Procedure for Certain Former Citizens
The IRS has established a Relief Procedure for Certain Former Citizens to allow individuals who have renounced their US citizenship an opportunity to come into compliance with their US tax obligations without facing penalties. This procedure is specifically aimed at ‘Accidental Americans’ and those who were unaware of their tax filing requirements as US citizens living abroad. It offers a pathway to comply with US tax laws and potentially relieve any past tax liabilities associated with renunciation.
Who is Eligible?
- Individuals who have renounced US citizenship after March 18, 2010.
- Those with no filing history as US citizens or residents.
- Individuals whose tax liabilities do not exceed a certain threshold for the five years prior to renouncing.
- People who have net assets below a specific limit on the date of expatriation and at the time of making their submission under this procedure.
