Capital income tax
I am a British citizen living in the USA on a J-1 visa.
I purchased some shares using a USA based brokerage account. 1) When it comes time to liquidate those assets and pay taxes on any capital income, do I need to file those taxes in the USA only or do I pay UK taxes also? I am worried about being taxed twice. 2) Any idea what happens if I return to the UK at the end of the J-1 visa and then liquidate the assets? Am I correct in thinking that I would have to pay UK taxes only in that case? I want to avoid this as I believe this particular US brokerage automatically subtracts tax at the time of liquidation. 3) Does being a resident alien or non-resident alien make any difference? I believe I am treated as a non-resident alien for the first two years of a J-1 and as a resident alien thereafter. Thanks for any assistance. |
