Personal taxes in the UK are an absolute breeze compared with the US which get even more nightmarish when one mixes in non-resident/overseas stuff. There's a reason I've yet to file (I did request an extension).

I occasionally write to an elected representative about your kind of farce but I doubt it makes much difference. Sorry you had to go through all that. I wonder how poorly the American electorate would tolerate their own travails if they knew more of life elsewhere.
