So, I am planning on moving to Scotland either later this year or very early next year. I have many questions, as I know I will still be taxed as an American but I also know there are tax treatise between the US and the UK.
1) What exactly is still taxed in the US (as I will NOT be working in the US at all, indefinitely) but I DO have a bank account I plan on keeping (for the purposes of paying my taxes, in all honesty, but it will have minimal money in it) and I DO have one MyFRS account (it only has like $4,000 in it and it's not currently being paid into so I'm not even sure if it's worth having). Will I be double-taxed just on my income or on other things?
2) Will I be taxed under the state of Florida as that is where I've lived all my life when I file my taxes? Please keep in mind that I am single, have no dependents, and own no property in Florida.
3) What receipts do I need to keep in the move and for perpetuity when I'm over there so I can continue to file my US taxes?
4) I am going to be working as an RN over there. Does this effect my taxes? As RN's make substantially more money over here than they do over there and I'm not sure if there are any tax breaks for healthcare workers working abroad.
5) I will be gifting my car to friends of mine who desperately need a car. Do I need to do something special on my taxes for this?
6) Will I still be able to use TurboTax or will I have to go to a special tax filer with my mounds of receipts? I've used TurboTax since I started doing taxes and I don't really know another way.
7) If, for whatever reason, the IRS audits me how would that...work? Would I just show them my receipts over a webcam, like...would they send a representative over to mine in Scotland?
😎 If I got a second, PRN job then would that also be taxed or no? I'm assuming that all of my income is taxed but I figured I'd ask this question.
9) Is there anything specific I may need to know if I am renting overseas?
10) Is there anything specific I may need to know if I have 2 jobs overseas?
11) If I give to charity can that be taken off my US taxes as well as my UK taxes, or is that only counted once?
12) If I keep my nursing license in FL and continue to keep it updated so I'm able to work in FL, the money I paid on my CEU's in order to keep it active would still be tax-deductible, correct? Even though I am not working in FL? That is true for my renewal fees for my nursing license, as well?
Any other help would be graciously accepted!
