I am US citizen and Receive UK pension and trying to find how the UK and USA treaty helps to reduce taxes on Pension I Receive form UK. I paid into Voluntary UK pension while I was in US and these contributions were made with funds that already have been taxed in US
Previous comments were very helpful but if I add the pension from UK to the social security I receive in US
I am taxes at 85% on Social security the UK pension will also be effected by 85% rate, but if I go to line 21 on form 1040 as mentioned and claim 100% of my pension as (-) now I have calmed total of 115% of my UK pension
Please clarify.
Also I noted that on new 1040 form line 21 is for " Refund you want to apply to next year estimated taxes" Is there a different line where we claim the refund of UK pension
Since we need to complete form 8833 does any one have UK treaty codes for form 8833
line 1 b, Line 2, Line 5 and some explanation for line 6
