RE: The number of people under NSA surveillance increased since 2015
On the other hand what about this? https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@jacor/new-bill-proposed-to-declare-bitcoin-at-us-borders
How would we declare it? Is this what you are referring to? So if we get off the airplane we have to do what? I'm guessing every time I leave the counter and enter again I have to fill out the form so the government can feel better about me? Can it be filled out over the Internet or do people have to remember to fill out that form every single time?
Hypothetical, if someone posts on Steemit from a foreign country then returns home to the US then their assets changed so now they have to report the slight changes? Or only $10,000 change has to be reported? I guess if people forget to report then the NSA gets activated or is the NSA automatically activated the moment they leave the country anyway? My guess is once an American citizen is outside the United States the NSA legally can put them under surveillance.
Thank you for linking, correct I am referring to filling out a form and filing it with the IRS/Financial Crimes network under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), which is discussed in the linked article. However, the annual filing requirement under FATCA I believe is a separate rule from declaring an asset when crossing the border (the main discussion in the article). Again, so many burdensome and overlapping rules and so little guidance to legally comply :( .
