You can only claim citizenship of a country if you are such. In any case, it would make no difference as far as taxation is concerned. If you earn income in the United States, you are still responsible to pay U. S. Income Taxes and to file a tax return. Being a citizen of Another Country can only make you possibly subject to their taxes as well if the other country requires it. The only difference is that if you also earned income in the other country as well and paid taxes to the other country, you can use the tax paid to another country as a deduction on your U. S. Tax Return if you have proof of such.
