My taxes and tax scenarios have always been pretty straight forward in the US and I thought they'd only be mildly muddled here. I'm just an employee, getting PAYE deductions and W2 Single/0 deductions.
Here is my 2019 tax year and simplified numbers:
1/1/2019 - 3/10/2019: US resident, US employee.
W2 - $33k Gross Wages, $4,975 Fed income taxes withheld.
3/15/2019 - 12/31/2019: UK resident, UK employee
Total wages fx to USD: $66k Gross, $15,975 tax, $4,600 NI (lumped as tax)
Don't qualify foreign income exemptions so I used Foreign Tax Credit in TurboTax, which says I owe $5k to IRS.
I've never paid quite so much tax and fees as a % of income before so can someone please tell me what I did wrong?
