OH is a dual national UK/US, and was dobbed in (or if you prefer, notification due to UK Banks' legal requirement to report dual nationals) to the IRS. She's been dreading the IRS coming to find her: like many 'accidental' dual nationals (i.e. born there, hardly spent any time there - in her case complicated by a two year masters in the 90s), the IRS can theoretically charge you All The Income Tax on earnings here, despite already being liable for UK tax on it.
So starts the formal process to renounce her citizenship (costs loads and a massive waiting list because the emabassy has been closed for processing applications for ages because you know, Prangdemic), and the costly engagement of a UK-based tax accountant who knows how to sort the labyrinthine IRC forms etc.
Nervous wait.
OH is on a very low income. Turns out ... you'd never guess ... They Owe Her Money, not the other way 'round, because she didn't receive some Prangdemic furlough-type payments.
Hahahahaahahah
