Re: Medical Insurance Gap Cover - 2wks before work cover kicks in

Thanks for your reply. I'd actually found that provider on the web, but alas they will not cover me in NJ, it seems.

I think I may have found a UK-based solution after hours of trawling through...

Re: Getting UK catch-up TV in NJ - can I use Verizon?

On the GSM thing, the point I was making was that Verizon have a proprietary system for their cell phones that limits only their...

Hi,

Just back from our house-hunting trip to NJ and the next stage is to look at utilities, etc starting with the internet.

We've been told that Verizon Fios will work to our new address, but...

Re: Selling UK Property as Resident Alien and US citizen Tax implications

So I'm learning on this forum, but I did have this very conversation with an absolute US tax ninja last week. But first, how can you both be permanent UK residents if you've moved to the US...

Re: ex-UK Army moving to US to work: Forces Pension & US Tax challenges!

That paragraph rather renders the whole DTA redundant.

Did your CPA win the argument, Lansbury? There has to be some law of precedence for this sort of thing. Reinventing the wheel every time...

Can anyone recommend an insurance broker in NJ?

We're moving to NJ shortly and I've been trying to figure out our budget. Not being able to figure out what cars cost to insure, how much we'll need to pay in contents (renters) insurance, etc makes...

Re: Living in NJ-buying a car from NY, CT or PA

Thanks, guys. That's all helpful. Despite having run LR Discoveries in the UK for years, they are such temperamental vehicles that buying a higher mileage LR3 is mildly scary. I wonder if a Ford...

Re: ex-UK Army moving to US to work: Forces Pension & US Tax challenges!

Thanks, Nun, can you point me in the direction of IRS publication 901 and the relevant part?

Your post is timely because I've been in touch with the team in HMRC who were able to advise on the...

Living in NJ-buying a car from NY, CT or PA

A question for all the car ninjas out there, if I may:

We're moving to NJ and want to buy a Land Rover Discovery (I think, purely because we've always had them at home). They are reasonably few...

Re: ex-UK Army moving to US to work: Forces Pension & US Tax challenges!

Thank you again for the helpful replies.

Re: ex-UK Army moving to US to work: Forces Pension & US Tax challenges!

MrKen30, thanks. Lest I confuse you, I am salaried by the UK military until August 2016 (pension kicks in thereafter). I start my new position with my new US employer in May 2016. So forgive me, but...

Lansbury, Nun,
