Re: Most tax efficient vehicle to invest for child?

Was that just a regular brokerage account, in your own name? An UGMA seems to a brokerage account in the child's name from what I've been able to surmise so far. My main worry is how to transfer it...

Re: Tax implications on sale of UK property (prior primary residence)

I just don’t feel like I am the enemy here yet I’m being attacked left right and centre with taxation 😩

Ironically one of the reasons we were attracted towards the USA (low cost city) since it’s...

Re: Tax implications on sale of UK property (prior primary residence)

Yep having had to do both lots of tax returns since 2018 - very aware! Hoping there's not going to be any UK capital gains tax if we sell after we get back so UK tax year won't be relevant.

Re: Tax implications on sale of UK property (prior primary residence)

This all sounds totally ghastly. I presume we would be able to sell up here under the principal residence exclusion if we did sell in 2.5-3 years' time as we bought our US home in 2020. Then we...

Re: Tax implications on sale of UK property (prior primary residence)

Has anyone sold their UK property, which was originally their home prior to emigration, whilst living in the US? Any idea on the tax implications? We originally planned to move back to the UK, remove...

Re: Travel restrictions to be removed in November

Phenomenal news. My parents haven't met my 18 month old daughter who was born March 2020 as they had to cancel a planned trip in April 2020. We have since booked to go back to the UK for an extended...

Re: TurboTax vs CPA and ITINs

Thanks civilservant, that's really helpful. Any tips on finding someone suitable? I'm guessing the regular "$99 tax return" types found in strip malls may not be the ones? Should I be looking for a...

Re: Navarre Florida

I've been to Sandestin area on vacation if that's useful? Bit different from living though... (I live in central Florida). I personally loved the coastal drives on the panhandle. Absolutely stunning.
