Even worse (at least IMO) are the US citizens born overseas, who have never lived in the US - other than vacations back to see Mom or Dad's family - who are supposed to be filing taxes.
I know of one family where the kids all have dual nationalities because of Mom's US nationality. She was heartbroken when her grown son decided to set up his own business in the country where he had been raised, and decided that, "just in case" he had better renounce his US citizenship so as not to run into any tax issues.
