Re: Dual US/UK Citizens - Make sure your UK Passport is valid if you want to vis

Re: Dual US/UK Citizens - Make sure your UK Passport is valid if you want to vis

Why is the UK PCLS taxable to citizens but not residents?

It should be noted when you say “the treaty,” you are obviously referring to the US-UK “Income Tax” treaty in the context of lump sum pension payments, but there are in fact two US-UK tax...

Re: Turbo Tax or H&R Block? Which do you prefer and why?

If you’re a US resident, don’t have foreign tax matters, and only need moderate “hand-holding” with taxes, I’d highly recommend freetaxusa.com. It’s a favorite on bogleheads.org (an...
