Margaret Wente, herself an American who moved to Canada many years ago, has written this column in The Globe about how the American IRS is after its former residents for not filing U.S. tax returns even if they have no U.S. income or assets.
Even those who are now Canadian citizens aren't considered as such by the IRS, which seems to have trouble with the meaning of 'Internal' in Internal Revenue Service. I have to wonder why they aren't going through proper channels and dealing with our own Canada Revenue Agency, which now collects taxes from the people the Americans are seeking. This is the most bizarre story I've read lately.
