Help!! US IRS Tax Credit for UK Mortgage
We are using Tax Act to fill in our IRS form and can't seem to be able to put in details of out Nationwide Bld Society Mortgage in the UK because we don't have an EIN (Employers Identification Number).
Last year they didn't want as much detail, but they must have changed their system and now we cannot finish the online form because of not having the EIN. Can anyone help?:confused: |

The EIN should be written on the bottom left corner of your W2.

Re: Help!! US IRS Tax Credit for UK Mortgage
No, this is specifically meaning the EIN for the UK Nationwide Building Society, whom our mortgage is with. Tax Act does not allow us to leave it blank, or to provide other details to explain that our mortgage is in the UK.
An Aussie friend has suggested a particular CPA that specialises in Ex-Pat Tax forms, so I think we will get him to do it. She also suggested that we might be able to get some Tax allowance for trips back to the UK aswell (to inspect the property), so it's probably worth paying a professional to do it. Thanks anyway! |

Strange I just opened Taxact and put something on that page and left that field blank and it didn't have a problem with it. I assume you are talking about the page "Itemized Deductions - Mortgage Interest Paid"? I didn't follow the whole section through though. Do you mean it won't let you complete the return without that? If you still want to do it in Taxact, and you have to put something in I would just put in anything it accepts - if it just needs something, put in FOREIGN - or if it needs a certain format just put 00-00000 (or whatever). The fact is as you are putting a foreign address it will be clear its foreign and I can't see them having a problem with it. |

Yes, what happens for us is that if you leave it blank or put in 0000000 etc. It does accept it then sends you around in a loop, then just when you think you're all done (5-6 screens later), it brings it up as an 'Red Alert' to force you to put in the EIN.
Apparantly last year my husband put in N/A and the system accepted it and we got the tax refund for that, but I think there has been some tightening up and this years version won't allow for it. I will let you know how we get on with this CPA, apparantly, he's a mad Irishman, which, if nothing will be good for a laugh! |

And would the Nationwide Building Society send out a US W2 form with a US EIN on it? I don't think so.

Well, tbh, the question is a little confusing. Are you an employee of the Building Society that hosts your mortgage?
