U.S. Citizenship Renunciation Services in Canada

If you, like many U.S. expats (U.S. citizens and Green card holders living outside the United States) are becoming more frustrated, confused, or overwhelmed with the massive burden that U.S. citizenship may entail when you are living outside the United States, you may have considered renouncing your U.S. citizenship.

We understand that the decision to terminate one’s U.S. person status should never be taken lightly or made without a full understanding of future consequences. Consulting a qualified U.S. tax and immigration attorney prior to proceeding with your decision is one of the most important and prudent actions you should take to determine if renouncing your U.S. citizenship or abandoning your Green card is the right answer to your concerns. You should never make that decision solely or primarily due to tax concerns. It is important that you proactively plan the renunciation process, and the closing of a chapter in your life.

Depending on your situation, it may be a very simple exercise. In some cases, you may need to catch up with your U.S. tax filing and reporting obligations by properly filing all applicable delinquent tax returns and forms with the IRS. Whether you are a U.S. citizen or a Green card holder living abroad, renouncing your U.S. citizenship or relinquishing your Green card takes a lot more thought and planning than just saying, “I quit.”
