Possible Solution to My USA Income Tax Problem

Does anyone know more about this?

Considering that my husband and I moved to Israel in our very early twenties in 1970, going on forty-five 45 years ago, we're very upset about the recent law and enthusiastic enforcement of it requiring that all American citizens, even expats who earn little money and ask nothing of the USA Government must file tax returns. Remember that we pay for our American Passports. Finding a qualified accountant here in Israel to do it for us will cost a lot of money, which we don't have to spare.

For us, relinquishing American citizenship isn't an option. We have close family there and need to visit without the hassles of visas.

This morning before checking my yahoo mail, I saw an interesting headline in their news about freebies for seniors. Look at this:

Free tax preparation. The Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) program offers free tax help to all taxpayers with an emphasis on those age 60 and older. Volunteers, who are certified by the IRS, specialize in pension and other retirement-related tax issues. Use theTCE locator tool to find a site near you. And AARP Foundation Tax-Aide offers free tax preparation for low- to moderate-income taxpayers, especially those 60 and older, at more than 5,000 locations.

I plan on clicking the links here for more information, but I'd like to know if anyone how there reading this knows more, thanks. I'll be visiting the states soon.

PS How can I get an American "senior citizen card?" I missed out on train discounts in a previous visit, because the ticket checker didn't recognize my passport as official proof.
