Taxes 2015!! Help

Hi guys!

It's almost time for tax filling back home, still awaiting my w-2. I have a few questions is regards how to file my taxes from the UK! I moved to the UK in August and work until the end of July back home in Ohio US. So I still own a condo back home which I rented to family until now. So how do I supposed to file? If anyone can help I will really appreciated... Also how do I prove I a married since my UK citizen husband never did had a social security number...?

Thank you!!

This is all a bit enthusiastic as the due date is not until 15 June (not 18 April as it is the States this year). Presumably you'll be filing separately and will need an extension if you have been working in the UK?

Don't worry too much about this, you are starting early and asking questions, that's half the battle. It's good to get an early start....heck I have my 2015 US taxes done already.

As Guya says you should probably file separately from your husband if he is not a US citizen to save him (and you) the worry of dealing with his UK assets on US taxes.

You should also file for a filing extension if you have been working in the UK so that you can meet the "bona fide" residence criteria and qualify to use the foreign earned income exclusion FEIE.

Your US tax obligations are the same as when you lived in the USA, but how they get paid will probably change as if you pay any tax in the UK you can use that to offset your US tax bill and/or exclude UK earned income from US taxation with the FEIE.

You should start by determining your UK tax status.....you could well be a non-domiciled resident and able to use the remittance basis for 6 years free of charge. This means you don't have to pay UK tax on any foreign income that you don't bring into the country, that will be important for your rental income in OH. You will have to pay UK tax on any income and gains you have in the UK, but you will be able to use either the FEIE or FTCs on your US tax return to defray any US tax due.

OH! don't forget OH! I'm sure Ohio will want to tax your OH source rental income.
