The bigger problem is that U.S. banks and brokerages now treat non-resident U.S. citizens as pariahs. See my previous posting above.

Yes. We’re having some confusion, too. Mrs. VanShuyten is a naturalized US citizen. She has some foreign private and government pension and health annuities maturing, and we have questions about the whole asset/income reporting requirements, and repatriation taxes. I think we’re going to take a big US tax hit, both from the repatriation tax and regular US income tax. The foreign financial institutions don’t seem to be concerned, as their payments are lump sum, one-time, end-of-contract payments, but who knows?
