Re: Deadline to backfill NI years 2006/07 through 20015/16 may be extended

Re: value of the pound against the Dollar

Zelle is not an option as far as I know.

Re: value of the pound against the Dollar

I’ll start by saying I’m not a financial expert. I do know that if you have money in non US accounts but you live in the US, then you may have tax to pay in the countries where the money is (on...

Re: value of the pound against the Dollar

Yep, that makes a lot of sense. It’s earned income (so will be reported as such and taxes paid)

Re: 17, looking to move to the US asap.

Callum, it is unlikely but you might even find the treatment you get in the UK is not available at all in the US. Last year as I left the UK to return home to the US, I had an eye infection. The...

BaseTax and BaseTax Solo (UK tax preparation outside UK)

Hi all
