Persons who wish to take the oath of renunciation under INA 349(a)(5) or who are requesting a Certificate of Loss of Nationality under INA 349(a)(1)-(4) should be aware that if the Department issues of a Certificate of Loss of Nationality in the person’s name (reflecting the official determination of loss of U.S. nationality) the former U.S. citizen’s U.S. tax or military service obligations may remain unchanged (contact the Internal Revenue Service or U.S. Selective Service for more information).

I’m pretty sure that’s supposed to mean that they don’t assess any new liabilities or obligations, but you can’t get out of anything they’ve already assessed by relinquishing citizenship.

Yeah, most likely. Although it does sound as if the ol’ ball & chain could be attached indefinitely on first read. I imagined sliding something to that effect in a joint contract and have my ex-roommate come in to do my laundry every week after leaving according to the vague print. lol

This is exactly what it is. You don’t get out of paying just by relinquishing citizenship.
