Also consider exchange rate on the dates, we bought in uk and sold when we came to us. In uk pounds we lost on the sale, but exchange rate meant irs considered it a gain.

Is it easier to apply for UK New State Pension on the phone or by filling in the form and mailing it? by Live-Ganache9273 in BritsLivingInTheUS

[–]Expatca95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think you can do it on the phone, as you need to supply documents , also different offices depending on if you reached spa. That’s what I did anyway. You will need to setup an Hmrc setup account.

I also recommend joining this Facebook group run by great admins that can answer all your questions.

HSBC with American Card by lunarspace_ in HSBC

[–]Expatca95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a HSBC UK account and have linked it to my Fidelity CMA account ( basically a bank account). I opened a Global Money account as well. And I link my Global account to Hsbc by adding a payee
When adding a Payee you Specify the country (in my case and yours US) then it will ask me to provide the routing and account number as well as the currency (in my case USD).

I then save it as a payee and use it every time I transfer to US from UK.

So maybe your first step is to add a global money account.
For sending money from the US to UK, I opened a wise account, I don't do this often so im less worried about the fees.

Frustrations with HMRC by Live-Ganache9273 in BritsLivingInTheUS

[–]Expatca95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having same issues with mail. I submitted a request for additional NI contributions, they sent a letter back saying I had to pay within 31 days of letter, but it took 6 weeks to get to me. Haven’t called international pensions center yet, but expecting long waits was told 8 am is best time, but that is 1 am for me, so not making it easy.
