We each have different levels of comfort dealing with anything, including the IRS if you are an American.

I do everything above board. i am on my second audit. If you want to lie and cheat, and take the chance of being caught, that is your choice, not mine.

There are more americans in prison for tax evasion than any other reason. 4 of my colleagues from my previous foreign job might be among them soon, if they are not already. They were caught.

Your choices are your own.

Your only way to escape the IRS is to renounce or relinquish your U.S. citizenship. And even then you need to make sure you are completely square with the IRS before doing so and make sure you do not fall under the category of "Covered Expatriate" or you may never be able to even visit the U.S. again. If renouncing or relinquishing your citizenship are not in your plans the the best advice is to assume the IRS will know everything and be completely honest and up front in your taxes. Unfortunately doing so will most likely require an expensive tax professional.

Agreed..All US-citizens and Green Card-holders have to file their taxes / report their worldwide income to the IRS, even if they live and make their living overseas..If you decide to relinquish your citizenship or residency, you will have to notify the IRS that you have done so..A lot of good info can be found on the internet / IRS-website..If in any doubt, hire professional help..Money well spent..

I think there are far more Americans in prison for drugs than for tax evasion. Sorry to hear about your audits. I never had any issues

Yes, it is a real pain. I hold an EU passport and live permanently in Europe. I make my living on a 4/4 contract in China. Yet I have to spend over $1,000 each year to have a tax professional file the paperwork which tells the U.S. that I do not owe any money. In the mean time, because of my U.S. citizenship banks are denying me services like a mortgage and retirement planing because they are scared of running afoul of FATCA.

No thanks airspeed. For all I know you could be a MMA Fighter or a mentally unstable individual thats carrying a firearm.
I do stand by my comment however. Your "Tax Advice" is dangerous and dumb.

Whip,

Just be a bit more courteous will ya? Whether you think my advice is dumb or not doesn't give you the right to talk to people that way
