Did you read between the lines?

There's no lines to read between. I've worked in public accounting before and have filled out returns for citizens living abroad. They can be extremely complex and often times don't result in a higher tax burden than a comparable citizen's living stateside. I don't know how their required filing have changed in recent years as I no longer work in that capacity, but if they've gotten more difficult, I get their frustration.
