Re: The removal men are here..... HELP PLEASE

We have huge art and craft stores over here that will make your jaw drop!

Don't bring the glue! Just replace it over here, simple! Write a list of what you're not bringing then get it again.

Re: Texas Driving Licence

The only link I guess they'll listen to is their own, ie Texas DMV.

I wish you luck. You'll probably end up with the same person for the road test if you're successful. ;)

Re: Texas Driving Licence

That's the idea, but didn't they specifically ask for a 'Permanent Residence Card' ?

Re: Any British nurses recently relocated to the US?

I definately would not recommend moving back. I've just left there.

Maybe try another state? Which state are you currently living?

Re: Tax payable in the US when Primary Residence sold in the UK

You have no liability on the UK side of things because you've been a US resident for a number of years.

But, I'm sure the IRS will expect you to pay on the gain over here.

Re: Tax payable in the US when Primary Residence sold in the UK

Agree. OP will not have to pay any tax on the house sale.

Everything I read says it must be reported, but which form do you tell the IRS that? F2555 as foreign earned income or just the F1040?

Re: Tax payable in the US when Primary Residence sold in the UK

Re: Tax payable in the US when Primary Residence sold in the UK

You do need to mention it, otherwise the IRS, informed by the banks, will question what that large sum of money that came in from the UK was.

Form F2555 is used to claim the exemption, but you're...
