I've been living in the US for a few years and it hasn't been particularly easy. My visa is technically expiring at the end of the month and while I have to travel to switch to a tourist visa (to which I'm incredibly anxious about not being remitted) I am much more worried about my return to Europe anon.
Brief Backstory:
Spoiler: show
I'm often blown away with the wide range of expertise found on Bluegartr, along with a peculiar ability to converse topics that other avenues on the internet cannot without devolving into a rabble.
Questions:
1) Taxes. I filed one of those 'delayed payment forms' on the due date (at least I think I filed it correctly?) and didn't do anything since then. My taxes are incredibly complicated apparently because I'm a foreign national and would have at the time cost a fortune in back pay and accountant fees. I was considered freelancer for like a quarter of 2013, and was meant to store away those taxes.
I did out the figures and I should have paid about 2k more than I paid for the year 2013. However, my job ended first quarter 2014, to which I paid over 2k into taxes.
I didn't and don't want to file for 2013/2014 since they basically equate each other, and I'd have to pay a small fortune in accountant fees and there would be a huge time delay (paying 2k now for 2013, then wait till next year to get the 2014 stuff back, while doing it all from Europe).
Ultimate question: I want to just ignore all this. I don't plan on working in the US for the foreseeable future (at least the next 6/7 years). I will however probably travel to the US say once a year, will I be 'perused' at the border for not filing taxes as I've explained? Would I be perused in Europe for not filing?
2) Credit Cards.
I have 2.5k in CC debt within the US. I have to high tail it back to Europe taking up most if not nearly all of my cash. If I was to abandon repayments, can I be perused in Europe/stopped at the border if I come back to the US?
3) Drugs.
I recently purchased a certain prescription drug (that isn't a controlled substance) over the internet for work; where does EU border control stand on passengers traveling with non-controlled prescription substances (in relatively high quantity bout 60 tablets) without a valid prescription?
I appreciate any information you guys might have about the above topics. I'm trying to think of these issues in a harm reduction manner.
Thanks
