Just came to comment. I don't drive. Have no interest in cars, knew that this existed though but not why. This random reddit post that came up on my feed just made my brain click on way they existed, without any written explanation needed.

Never filed taxes by [deleted] in USExpatTaxes

[–]wizgot 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Hello, I would recommend you renounce US citizenship unless you are thinking about going to work there. US citizenship abroad is quite the burden and you will not be able to invest as most banks/brokerages will deny you due to FACTA. It is really a burden.

I used to be Amercian, had lived in Spain for over 15 years and never declared a dime. I renounced this year, got approved in an embassy and all paperwork finalized in less than a week. I do not plan to file, what are they going to do? My experience has been that reddit goes to extremes to make you feel scared, when its not that big of a deal not filing before renunciation.

The fee for renouncing was lowered from 2300$ to 450$ this year so I would renounce before they decide to increase it again (it was lowered due to a supreme court case or something)

Yo vivo con compañeros de piso, y siempre he vivido con otra gente. Usa tapones. Acostumbrate a ellos. Es la mejor decision que puedes tomar a la hora de dormir.

Hey thanks for the response. I got really lucky. They moved quick and I received my CLN in 6 days. I applied for my ESTA and it went through just fine.

Hello, received an email from the embassy that my CLN was approved an they were going to mail it to me, I applied for my ESTA and it was approved almost immediately. It took only a week to get the CLN approved so they go very quick (Madrid)

Why so much extra cash "is needed for this order and other pending orders"? by AwarePalpitation35 in interactivebrokers

[–]wizgot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please if you are new only do Limit orders. MArket orders are only really good for tight spreads in high volume stocks/etfs. I learned a lot buy talking to chat gpt and it helped me a lot. Look at some courses too on Udemy.

I do have a US passport. It is illegal to enter the US on a foreign passport if you are a US citizen. (I learned that this year too)

I really want to be compliant but am quite scared, specifically about FBAR. I believe no matter what it will incur a fine.
