US Department of State Reminds Dual Nationals of Tax Obligations
The US Department of State has issued a reminder to dual nationals that their obligation to pay US taxes remains in effect even if they leave America. This guidance, published on the department's official Travel.State.Gov website, emphasizes that US citizenship entails financial responsibilities that persist across borders.
Dual nationals are required to comply with US tax laws, irrespective of their residence in another country where they may also be paying taxes. The department advises consulting a tax adviser experienced in dual nationality tax issues due to the complexity of the rules.
Furthermore, dual nationals must enter and exit the US using their US passport, as using a foreign passport for this purpose is illegal. This rule also applies to children holding US citizenship.
The guidance also addresses complications that may arise from holding dual nationality, including potential exit bans imposed by some countries, which may limit US consular officials' ability to assist.
