I mean I never intend to move back to the US. I like to visit.

And I'd like to not get arrested at the border and forcibly repatriated, if you get my drift.

Extradition is kind of a pain too.

Has anyone ever been extradited simply for failing to pay U.S. income tax while living permanently abroad, and having neglected to renounce citizenship?

I highly doubt it. I think it's more of a "if you step on our shores, you're ours" situation.

But even tho I am far from being rich enough to be on their radar, better safe than sorry. Saving $50k/yr in taxes is a bad optimization if it lands your ass in jail.
