You don't want to denounce your citizenship. That is a bad, bad, bad move.

You don't have to do that in order to not live here. Just not being in the US will probably be enough. They will not come and inspect you. That's not reality, regardless of what the arm chair lawyers at GFY will tell you. Go speak with an attorney who specializes in international law and let him set you straight. NOT a free speech attorney, but someone who does nothing but international law. It will be the best money you will ever spend and you will stop worrying about 2257.

Most in this industry can not see past what they don't understand and ONLY rely on free speech attorneys to tell them what is going to happen on an international level. Would you ask a tax attorney how to deal with a free speech issue or to help you with a divorce? No you would not. You would go to a specialist... the tax attorney. Do the same with international law.

If your going to denounce your citizenship to get out of paying taxes, the IRS can still tax you for up to 10 years if they think you are denouncing to avoid taxes. Uncle Sam owns you. There is no escape from taxes... you can only reduce your tax burden. There are a number of ways to do this and in the end you can pay close to nothing, but you will again need the help of a specialist to do this. DO NOT try to do this on your own.
