  You have to earn over something like 100k for the US to tax you.

  You still have to file, but you don’t need to pay taxes unless you’re earning enough that the visa won’t be a problem.

  But, like, if you close everything out and never go back…

      But then what?

      Is a foreign government going to extradite you for missing paperwork and no outstanding tax debts (especially because everyone else thinks it’s nuts that we require nonresident citizens to file taxes)? I guess it’s possible, but it strikes me as very unlikely.

      But if you’re still financially attached to the US/likely to visit, they’ve got some power over you.

      I’m not a lawyer or an accountant (obviously. This is not best practices)

        Why would that strike you as unlikely? It’s extremely likely because most countries that people would want to flee to already have extradition agreements with the US.

        All the US has to do is declare you a fugitive and those countries will pick you up and ship you back.

        Especially with how petty this administration has been.
