I'm Irish, born in Ireland, to Irish parents and have lived in Ireland all my my 33 years and am obviously Irish domiciled, resident and ordinarily resident.
I recently found my US passport in my mothers house which was issued when I was a few months old!
My parents had worked in New York for a number of years and had become US citizens before returning to Ireland and having me.
They made me a US citizen so I have dual citizenship with Ireland & USA.
I have spent all of two weeks on holiday in America.
I have become aware of a nasty surprise that America taxes all of its citizens on all worldwide income regardless of their situation.
Further I am supposed to have been filing annual tax returns apparently despite having no American assets or income apparently and may be have to pay thousands to a country that I really have had no connection to.
I am struggling to get a full picture of what my situation is and how to proceed as I haven't been able to find a good tax lawyer/accountant here that is knowledgeable about this.
Would you have any advice of where I can get more reliable information before I decide how to proceed with this?
Thanks.
