I lived in the USA for 4 years (2015 to 2019), left permanently and kept all my investments in Brazil (shares, direct treasury, CDI, rental properties). I collected the taxes myself (without a legal representative), paying the tax returns with a non-resident code. I declared everything to the US tax authorities and deducted the amount of tax paid in Brazil from what I owed there.
I tried to communicate my permanent departure to my bank and brokerage firm in Brazil, but I didn't even get a reply. I left my bank and brokerage accounts as if I were a resident (a famous consultant who helped us through the process said that it probably wouldn't be a problem).
I've always paid the taxes due according to the legislation of each country, and I've never had a problem.
I moved back to Brazil in 2019 and started filing my tax return here again. Since then, I've never had a problem with the IRS either. And my tax return is a mess, with dozens of different sources of income.
My impression is that nobody controls anything about non-residents, and there is no such thing as psedo communication between governments. As long as you rigorously pay the taxes due in each place, no one will worry about you.
