FBAR: Safe to state several accounts balance as unknown?

Hi!

Like many of you, I'm enjoying that time of the year prep'ing the tax return and other fiscal obligations (with the help of the accountant provided by my wife's employer).
One of those is...

Re: My first employed tax return.

We're in pretty much the same situation.
For what I understand you'll need to ask for a delayed tax return (ie do it in October), to receive your tax doc from HMRC, and with it ask not to pay taxes...

Re: My first employed tax return.

She had a call indeed, but even though the questions were rather comprehensive, their website seems to be a total pain to use. And there isn;t a lot of explanations on W2s for those who'd like to get...

Re: W-4 married fillign single (but declare jointly for Tax Refund)

Thanks for the replies.
I think we'll ask an accountant at some point to double check my maths and whether the W4 we both gave were somehow accurate or leading to massive withholdings (I'm talking...

Re: W-4 married fillign single (but declare jointly for Tax Refund)

And I agree both withholding at single rates is the safest way to avoid having too little withholding. It's just the other part that is very confusing (cf. quote on my 1st post)

W-4 married fillign single (but declare jointly for Tax Refund)

Hey y'all.

So my wife has been employed for a few months now, and I've just started a new job early 2018.
I've filled a W-4 form for administrative paperwork, and now that I do my actual maths,...

Re: Private pension in the UK

You may also see with HSBC US (the international branch) if they can open an account in the US and then ask to open an account in the UK.
When we moved from France to the UK, we basically did that...

Re: Your opinion please.

I heard Canada is a good place to go to eventually end up in the US, I think once you're a perm resident/citizen there are visa options that may be easier. Not sure if that's 100% legit though.

Re: Your opinion please.

Also depending on what kind of job you do, an """easy""" (note the "") way could be a L1 visa within an US company. But that's not something you can really target to (rather wish for, at best) when...

Re: Retirement otuside the US for non-US citizens: 401(k) vs Roth 401(k)

Thanks! France *should* be similar as there's the same kind of treaty between both countries - I'll still ask French tax services though.

I think I'll go for a Roth 401(k) then (tax wise it'll be...

Re: Retirement otuside the US for non-US citizens: 401(k) vs Roth 401(k)

I was thinking of State income tax.

Also, you might well be right 401(k)s would have to be fully withdrawn/closed BUT I think you can transfer then to an IRA? Not too sure if that's the case/what...
