Fake Nick ain't from the US. This thread is almost pointless for US citizens for obvious reasons, but sure - ya got $70K allowances.
Interesting survey by the IRS about two years back. They took the effort to send out a "survey" to US folks living abroad. I can't remember the exact percentages, when asked whether they filed tax papers, something like... 20% responded, and 80% dumped it in the trash.
So.. what does the IRS do? They wait till that US citizen needs a passport renewed and then cross check it with IRS returns and, if they are none???? Ya got a problem with a valid passport. Nothing is sacred....
Rest assured... where there is a dime, no matter where in the middle of a jungle - the US IRS will want taxes for the fruit you eat off the trees there!
