Although this article does not contain false information, it is primarily advertising for the IRS and tax compliance industry. The article contains a number of "half truths". The main point is that the FATCA problem applies to those who really are U.S. citizens.When it comes to U.S. citizenship: 1. Being born in the U.S. means you start life as a U.S. citizen but it is very possible that one has relinquished U.S. citizenship along the way. 2.

What they do is help you comply with U.S. tax laws and they are happy to do this whether you are a U.S. citizen or not.
