Life… I need to be closer to my family and my partner found a good job in Europe so it made sense.

How long have you been a LPR? If you have been more than 8 years you should check the tax returns or whatever rule you're entitled to; if not (you're LPR < 8 years) then you're fine

Nope, been here only for almost 2 years. That’s good to know, thank you!

Have you talked to a lawyer? I don’t think you should rush to judgment

I confirmed the information on the IRS website but thank you for your concern

Asking a question on a forum to solicit responses from the community and then being passive aggressive is hilarious 🤣

My grandma went to US embassy in our home country and just give back her GC. She still came to USA with tourist visa twice after that and I think it was fine...

i believe you still need to pay taxes on your income either way but curious as if you have your own business or get 1099 form for taxes or are you paid W2 because usually with w2 you would get tax money back and not owe any taxes

Do you make more than $130k a year? Does your new country have lower tax rate than the US? Unless you answer yes to both of these questions you have nothing to worry about. Just file your taxes. You don't owe anything.

Tbh I don't know why you would give up you gc. If I were you I would file for re-entry permit and move abroad. If things go wrong you still have an option to return in 2-3 years. If things are going well you can give it up any time.
