The IRS can now revoke your passport if they feel you owe more than $50k in back taxes. One could think of a number of reasons that could be quite bad for you. Like if you need to travel for business and suddenly cannot until you wade through the bureaucratic mess to settle the issue. Or you are an expat living overseas and suddenly cannot renew your visa because your passport has been cancelled, and for the same reason you also cannot travel, so end up in some sort of weird limbo. A second passport could come in very handy in those situations.
- tdumitrescu 8y agoI was saved unexpectedly by my second passport a few months ago when taking a trip from the US to Europe. My US passport was valid for another couple months, but at checkin they told me I couldn't use it for an international trip because it needed to be valid for at least the next 90 days from date of travel. Luckily I was able to whip out another passport for them, but I'm sure otherwise I would have been stuck trying to get a rush passport and rebook flights.
