I am a US resident and my question is about UK government pension. It seems like there are contradictory messages on here.
1.If the pension us under the personal allowances in UK someone said they did not put it on the 1040 - mine is under.
OR do you put it on then take it off on line 21 as someone else said?
Also one expert is talking about looking up the UK?USA tax agreement which is very little help as I read the article 18 on pensions.
2. Last year I just paid tax on 75% as I read somewhere you could write off 25% but I think that is a lump sum thing.
3. On another post someone said put the whole amount on then take off the appropriate amount in line 21.
what is the ?appropriate ? amount #1 #2 or #3 above.
I just want to get these taxes done.......... does anyone really know?
