I'm not a lawyer and I'm not from US, but I'm pretty sure this is not how it works.

Ah but it is. The US is, as far as I know, the only country who taxes its citizens who are living abroad. And yes, it is as stupid and shitty as it sounds.

No, I mean stopping owing part. If you did not pay taxes but should have while you were citizen, you are still owe taxes.

It seems US is most backwards country. Well, it could be most upside-down country, but this title is already claimed by Australia.

Perhaps I could have worded it better. I meant not accruing additional taxes to pay. But if you're already debt dodging by changing countries, realistically what is the federal government gonna do?
