Re: UK state pension and USA social security

It's important to understand the WEP rules for your foreign pension and SS contributions because realistically the SSA person is not going to understand the nature of those contributions. So you...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

If that is UK dole then it was not subject to FICA and so that portion of the UK state pension would be WEP'able.

Voluntary NI paid from US wages is not WEP'able and neither are any amounts from...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

WEP was put in place for state and government workers. The US SS system pays proportionally more to people with lower life time incomes. An incomplete US work history because of non SS earnings makes...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

In MA the state does not pay SS....MTRS is part of the state pension system and if the retiree has either a DC plan or takes a lump sum the state should contact SSA with the equivalent annuity...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

I imagine SSA will ask you about any UK pensions and will work out the relevant income given the lumps sum and when you took it.

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

Here is how the SSA determines the WEP amount if you have a defined contribution lump sum rather than an annuity or pension payment. It takes the lump sum and divides by a actuarial figure to...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

My best guess......and that's all it is....is that a lump sum taken would be converted to the equivalent "substantially equal payments" for the WEP calculation. So if you take a UK pension lump sum...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

You should start by reading the WEP section in the SSA website. Then look at their WEP calculator. Any UK private pension and UK state pension that is a result if wages that were not subject to FICA...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

Where's the rental, what is the residence and citizenship of the owner? Even if there is 30% withholding (and I doubt that for US/UK taxes on US/UK residents) you get to apply withholding to your tax...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

All good questions.....I bet the SSA would just ask for the amount of the non-SS income in the year you applied for SS and use that for WEP.

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

The instructions on the 1040 say to report foreign pension income on line 16a and 16b...........but as long as there are no tax basis issues line 21 will work too.

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

The Social Security Article is one of the few that is excluded from the Saving Clause. That clause usually catches US citizens who are non US resident. However, because the Article covering SS is...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

A UK state pension paid to a US tax resident in only taxable in the US. It should be entered on line 16 of the 1040 as a foreign pension. You can also file a substitute 1099-R on form 4852 as you...

Re: UK state pension and USA social security

If you take this UK pension lump sum in a single amount there won't be any UK tax due as long as you make the correct treaty claim, but it will be fully taxable as income in the US.

Re: UK state pension and USA social security
