The IRS likes us.. to the tune of $10,000.

Makes Mexico and Costa Rica sound better all the time. Sorry IRS .. Just passing through.

I don't feel sorry for folks that ignore the rules (although I'm not a fan of the IRS). On the other hand, down here in FL there are a lot of Canadians who funnel lots of money into the local economies thru sales taxes or usage fees, and I wouldn't want to see them penalized to the point that they stay home.

So... where and how do I get my 8840. Does the DW need one too??

Just do your 8840 each year and keep track of your 'days' per guidelines and you are good. Maybe not so good those with dual citizenship.

Welcome to the IRS> Plead the 5th like they do.
