Being a USC, married to an NRA, I elected to have my spouse treated as a U.S. resident for income tax purposes (IRC § 6013(g)), I note however; Individuals making this election are generally prohibited from claiming benefits under a U.S. income tax treaty as a resident of a treaty country.
Would this mean for example that Social Security would be taxed by both the UK AND the U.S? What other restrictions would this common election bring?
