I am American, living in England 30 years, never intend to return to US. I receive a Social Security pension from the US. I stopped filing a US tax return 20 years ago. I want to invest but firms now ask about nationality, due to FATCA. (I have British citizenship as well.)

Quite simply, is my best option to just say I am a UK citizen and not mention the US nationality? Does the IRS have the power to seize my income while I live abroad? Could they stop or reduce my Social Security pension?

Thank you.

Can the IRS enforce claims on Americans living abroad?
