I was born in the US. I came to Canada as a landed immigrant in 1980, became a citizen in 1984. I am given to understand that I abandoned US citizenship when I emigrated. I have not voted or worked in the US since January 1980. I hold a Canadian passport.
I am now contemplating marrriage to a US citizen living in the US. Neither of us is planning to move. We will continue to maintain separate residences: mine in Canada my intended spouse in the US. At some point nearer to retirement, we may both want to reside in Canada.
My intended spouse is concerned that I have tax liability in the US for which my intended spouse will be responsible if we marry.
Can anyone provide any information and/or point me to the appropriate website?
Thanks!
