    "story_excerpt": "I was born in the U.S. but left as a young child and then moved to the UK when I was around 10. I’ve lived in the UK ever since, have worked here, paid UK taxes through PAYE, and have never lived or worked in the U.S. as an adult.\n I genuinely had no idea that, as a U.S. citizen, I was still expected to file U.S. tax returns every year, even though I live abroad and pay taxes in the UK.\n I only found out recently after my bank contacted me regarding my U.S. citizenship. Since then, I’ve been trying to understand the Streamlined Foreign Offshore Procedures and what I need to file, but honestly, it’s been incredibly overwhelming. There are so many forms and I’m worried about making a mistake.\n I’m also anxious about the possibility of penalties, even though this was completely unintentional.",
