I am a US citizen in Italy and just submitted my documents for dual citizenship. I have residency in the Comune where I am applying. I will now be returning to the US. I was told I need to keep the residency until my citizenship application is accepted. On another forum I was told that I am liable for taxes on my US assets while I have my residency in Italy. Is this correct information? Do I need to keep the residency until I get my Italian passport? Also can I apply for the AIRE online from the US? Thank you, and sorry if these questions have already been addressed. Theresa
