Birthright taxpayers: Meet the fiercest enemy known to man: The IRS, and that's no joke.

I reckon the IRS has a lot of tools to use for collection. As a birthright citizen, living anywhere in the world, your income is subject to US taxation.

How about them apples!! I guess we can start with China, the biggest player in birth tourism.

quote:

There are times when the obvious hits you between the eyes with such force that you just can’t take two aspirin and wait for dawn. Trump v. Barbara did just that. There are supposedly about a million Chinese “birthright citizens” who can now vote in US elections. That also means that they are US taxpayers. Hmmm… Time for a little thought experiment.

These US citizens in China are subject to the Internal Revenue Code. That means that they must file Income Tax Returns annually, just like the rest of us. Failure to File is usually a civil offense under IRC § 6651. If there is a willful decision not to file, it becomes a federal misdemeanor under 26 U.S.C. § 7203. That’s worth a year in the crossbar hotel and a $25,000 penalty for every year a return isn’t filed.




American Citizens Are Also American Taxpayers!

Every birthright adult who hasn’t file a return needs to be prosecuted.

Pay up or be denaturalized and banned from the Us? They should be denatualized anyway.

Want the benefits of citizenship? Enjoy the responsibilities as well.

Can't have one without the other.

what would they pay? FEIE is like 130k a year. It would amount to little more than a compliance obligation. Yeah, they should be compliant. Just don't expect them to owe.

This is actually pretty clever


Tell China to extradite their tax evaders or else we cut off trade.

What US law enforcement agency is going to go to China (with their permission/cooperation), find a million "citizens," secure extradition, and transport them back to the US for trial?

We can't cut off trade with China.

And they know it.

We can always see how important a trading partner we are with China by tying such compliance with trade policy.

Damn. The IRS is good for something. Pursue and lock up for tax evasion.

We get electronics, pharmaceuticals, medical supplies, machinery and heavy industrial equipment, critical rare earth minerals, and auto parts—to name a few—from China.

We don't have unlimited leverage in that relationship.

If they want to keep their million "citizen" voters, they will.

The IRS provides an estimate on potential tax receipt potential. That amount is tripled. Before any trade can occur, it must be paid. Without, then China must cooperate with US tax authorities regarding collection and seizure when necessary.

Those of you who think we can completely cut off trade with China live in la la land.

Denaturalize and strip them of citizenship if they don't pay. And then ban them from ever entering the United States.

Do that and screw over the Democrats and start to take away the incentive. No reason for birthright citizenship if you're most likely going to lose it and then be banned from the U.S., even to visit. The parents would be hurting their kids, not doing them any favors.

Did you read what I wrote? I suppose you could strip them of citizenship if they don't file but you'd have to stiffen penalties. As for payment, most won't owe. Filing requirement != tax due.
