Americans have stories of the consequences, which are very inconvenient

Your one year of living there exempted you from that

Ive been audited twice for unrelated reasons. The IRS sends you a letter asking you for additional information and how to submit it. Its not even strongly worded

Very inconvenient, I know.

the stories are inconvenient not necessarily the reality

that and most Americans dont have the budget to pay or hire someone to challenge if theyre worried about how to do additional filings

What consequences? The IRS sends you a nice letter saying you underpaid. You agree with them and pay them. End of story.

It's not like you are using questionable deductions and barely legal maneuvers. Be honest in the first place. Tell them you had a good-faith effort to do your taxes and made a mistake.
