“About 1 million Canadian residents are ‘U.S. persons’ who are required by U.S. law to file U.S. tax returns as well as Canadian tax returns. The definition of a U.S. person includes those born in the U.S., children of American-born parents and green card holders. The problems are the punitive IRS penalties and criminal prosecution threats for failure to complete the many required annual information returns. For those who do not plan to return to live in the U.S., these extremely high penalties for not filing annual forms are encouraging U.S. persons in Canada to find out how to relinquish their U.S. citizenship.”
