Tax Help First Year in USA on L1A Visa
Any guidance/help on the following would be appreciated:
In 2022 I spent a lot of time out of the UK on business trips…. USA and Middle East mostly as company has offices globally….The USA trips were on a ESTA for the most part of 2022 however I received my L1A visa late 2022 and moved here and have been paying US tax through my company payroll since. I don’t meet the SPT for 2022 if I only include time in the USA on the L1A but if you add up my L1A and ESTA visit I do. Do I need to report foreign income and pensions, CGT etc on my first USA tax return.

Assuming you paid tax in the UK you maybe able to see if you can us then”closer connection” exemption for part of the year, you should probably look for a proper tax advise.. many employers cover it for new transplants for a year or 2 as part of the package when moving…
