I am US resident and have an NT (no tax) code for withdrawals from my UK personal pension. I am likely to exceed my Lifetime Allowance. Does the NT code protect me from paying the UK taxes on the...

Re: WEP and the SSA

Re: Banking - Paid in £ but living in US

A follow-up to post 49: XE did refund me $15 to cover the wire fee. They paid me by wire, so at least they worked out they had to send me $30 to cover the additional $15 on this wire.

I have started taking periodic drawdowns from my SIPP. It has been postulated both on this and other forums that this process might allow the 25% tax free portion to be untaxed by the IRS. I am not...

Re: Form 8802 process

The IRS cashed my check and it is just coming up to 45 days since then. That is why I am wondering if I will find out whether they have processed the form or not.

Re: English food in the USA mostly Sausages

A few states impose an inheritance tax (tax on the recipient), but...
