Re: Moving back to UK

That's sad! I have always done my own US taxes myself, with the aid of a program. Very easy and not expensive.

Re: Moving back to UK

Thank you.

I appreciate your time and information. As a matter of interest, when you sold up in Texas, did you ship your furniture etc to UK, or did you buy new in the UK?

Re: Getting healthcare back in UK when resident in US

On the frequent trips I take back to the UK, I always take out medical insurance. I still have a UK social # but since I've been in the USA since 1978, and that's too long for it still to be active.

Re: State Pension value in US $ since Brexit.

I have never paid Fed or State taxes but that's of little comfort when the amount keeps declining every 4 weeks!

There's always the possibility that some EU countries are waiting to see if the UK...

Re: US taxation on UK pension

Having started my 2013 return I note that there are changes in line #s. If you're itemizing the form is now 1040A and the line you report Pensions & Annuities is 12a and 12b not 16a and b as in...

Re: Exchange rates and The UK State Pension

Don't forget that when you turn 66 you are allowed a greater amount that you can earn, if collecting SS, it's now over $40k and at 67, if I'm not mistaken, your income is not limited at all.
