Accidental American panic

Thanks for that, looks like a small step in the right direction.

Still point 6 does point out that I need to comply with 5 years worth of tax filing, which doesn't make it that much different to current approaches in terms of overall cost.

And point 4 is a little confusing, it says "has held a U.S. passport for the sole purpose of departing from the United States". Does that mean only once? I've only ever used my US passport for entering and leaving the USA once. Does that rule me out?

Read point 6 again. It says file as a non-resident. Big difference. 5 years of form 1040NR.

Oh OK! I have to admit that I find the language used in this things really confusing.
