Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

I mean what would happen if you just left?
There are edge cases where you still need to pay/file taxes.
What would they do of you just did not pay those?
Presumably they could make entering or leaving the country very difficult. So if you have family/friends in the US or ever have a reason to travel back to the country (pleasure or business) you could find yourself saddled with more debt than you might ever be able to repay
Makes sense. But if you don't and don't plan on coming back...
Then you have to ask "are my non-US accounts able to be shut down/frozen by the IRS/US?"
The answer is probably no, but not always.
True the US has some insane fucking rules and too much power over bullshit like this
Agreed.
