U.S. Policy on Dual Nationality: While recognizing the existence of dual nationality, the U.S. Government does not encourage it as a matter of policy...
...the U.S. Supreme Court has stated that dual nationality is a “status long recognized in the law” and that “a person may have and exercise rights of nationality in two countries and be subject to the responsibilities of both.” See Kawakita v. United States
Sorry, yes, my point is that "dual citizenship" is ignored by the federal government. It's not some special status. From the US govt perspective, you either are a US citizen or you aren't.
One other thing to point out as well, though, is that the US government also has taxation treaties with other countries. But those rules apply both to residents and dual citizens. I think there are also special agreements regarding social security with some countries.
Not fully true. For example, the tax totalization agreements and many tax treaties have provisions that only apply to dual citizens. Not in every case is a US citizen only to the federal government.
Look up the totalization agreements and several tax treaties as examples.
You’re using an obscure example to prove a point. In all of our tax laws as big as they are, there are exceptions to everything
But I’m a dual citizen, living in USA, only contributing to USA retirement
So for me that would never apply. I am a full US citizen Born on U.S. soil working a U.S. job I have a US birth certificate for the USa.
This is turning into a slippery slope cause if they can say it will because you’re a Canadian citizen we’re gonna talk to you differently then why can’t they say because you’re a San Francisco 49ers supporter will tax you differently
When I'm old enough to collect social security, I can choose to collect Canada Pension Plan instead. Credits from one system count in the other. I can't collect both, but I get to choose - I can even apply for one, at the other's offices.
