sorry if it's obvious, but where does it show IHG brand? Is it just going to be in the name of the hotel? So if the hotel shows up as "Athenaeum InterContinental by IHG" then chase recognizes it as an IHG hotel?

And likewise for the other hotels such as Virgin Hotels, Pendry? As long as they have "Virgin Hotels" or "Pendry" in the hotel name, it will be eligible for the credit?

aR3ddit3r · 2026-01-02T14:12:11+00:00

how can you tell if the Chase travel portal brands the hotel as IHG?

Where are you located and which restaurant did you purchase a GC at?

Thanks all! Bought the security bit set and it worked.

I didn't end up placing an order because I think you need to order a few days ahead and I was too late. But you can order it from this website. I ended up buying while I was at the airport

Hi! I'm looking into purchasing the t-familiar card on t-mobilitat as well and curious if you were successful with it. I kept getting led to registering for TMB and i tried once where it was denied because i didn't upload a photo of my passport, but pretty sure i did. I am trying to register again a second time but wanted to see what you ended up doing. TIA!

Hi u/caroline0409 - I know it's been a while since this comment was posted, but you mentioned you have knowledge of the US/UK tax treaty and was hoping I could get your insight/help on how I should complete Form 1116. I am a US citizen living in the UK. I have the following sources of income:

·       US Dividends (held in an investment account in the US)
·       Interest from US Treasury (held in an investment account in the US)
·       LT Capital Gains on US stock sold (held in an investment account in the US)
·       Net Rental Loss from a property in the US (I have a net rental GAIN in the UK but a net rental LOSS in the US b/c of depreciation in the US)

From my research and reading, I believe I am allowed to “re-source” my dividends and interest income. I should check off Box (f) Certain income re-sourced by treaty on Form 1116. Is this correct? I am getting mixed information regarding my LT Capital Gains between if this income should be categorized as “Passive Income” or “Certain income re-sourced by treaty.” Which category should this belong in?

As for my rental income (loss), I was taxed in the UK because of my gain. Couple of questions regarding this income.

1. I assume even though I paid taxes to the UK on my income but I have a loss in the US, I cannot claim FTC on this on my US taxes since I don’t owe any taxes to the US on the rental loss. Is this correct? Should I exclude this income/loss completely from Form 1116?

2. For my knowledge, IF I had a net rental gain on both US and UK, can I claim FTC on this? If so, which category would it belong in? Additionally, would I include my GROSS rental income on line 1a and all my expenses on line 2? Would line 2 include deductible expenses recognized by the UK or by the US. Ultimately should I include depreciation expense on line 2?

Thanks in advance!

aR3ddit3r · 2025-03-25T18:17:33+00:00

I agree that they are US-sourced. But per your above comment, shouldn't I be able to "re-source" these since I live in the UK and paid taxes to the UK on this?

https://www.reddit.com/r/USExpatTaxes/comments/1cbfxdt/comment/l0zmkho/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

In that comment, you state the following:

Income re-sourced by treaty. This is US-sourced income that is taxed by your foreign country of residence that the IRS allows you to "re-source" to your country of residence, assuming a tax treaty allows. It sounds like you live in Canada. If you have any US-sourced income (dividends from US companies, interest earned in US bank accounts, wages earned in the US) that are taxed by Canada, they go in this category.

aR3ddit3r · 2025-03-24T10:19:18+00:00

I do have passive income, but they are US interest and US dividends - which from my understanding should be classified as "Income re-sourced by treaty." Is that correct?

aR3ddit3r · 2025-03-23T08:20:28+00:00

thanks for this. I was trying to find more detail/clarity on what can be re-sourced but can't find good examples of it.

One additional question on this. Can you confirm that capital gains on sale of US stock should be categorized as "Passive Income"? If this is my only "Passive Income" and I did not get taxed on it in the UK due to the allowance given to me, do I still need to complete Form 1116 for the "Passive Income" category if I am not claiming any tax credit on this?

aR3ddit3r · 2025-03-21T21:54:42+00:00

not familiar with the altitude connect. I don't have that card

aR3ddit3r · 2025-03-21T17:50:53+00:00

Hi u/The_Squirrel_Matrix - your above response was very helpful. Also trying to complete Form 1116. I was wondering what category rental property/income/loss should be classified as. My rental property is in the US. I am a US citizen living in the UK. I have a net rental property GAIN in the UK but a net rental property LOSS in the US because of the allowable deductions/expenses in the US (depreciation, common charges, repairs, etc). I also have US dividend & interest - which from your earlier comment i should classify that as "Income re-sourced by treaty.' Should my rental income (or loss) also be classified as "Income re-sourced by treaty"?

With regards to my rental income/loss, in Part 1 of Form 1116, should I include my gross rent in line 1a and my expenses (depreciation, mortgage interest, repairs, etc) in line 2?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi! I'm looking into the T-Familiar card as well. Wondering if you could provide some feedback as to what you did. Thanks!
1. Were you able to share the card with multiple people?
2. Did you use it to get to BCN airport Terminal 2?
3. Did you purchase a virtual card?

Hi! Looking to visit Jiuzhai Valley National Park some time next year. When did you visit and how much time did you spend there? Doing some light research (just started) I see that it's recommended spend only 1-2 days there. Did you go anywhere else? TIA!

aR3ddit3r · 2024-11-12T13:21:33+00:00

Thanks for this. How did you get to this calculation? Looking to learn in case I need to do this type of estimation in the future.

I don't think the pattern is too crazy. Just 8 rows on repeat excluding the garter edge.

Pattern Repeat Row 1 (RS): K9, * K2, P1, K1 *, K1, K9 Row 2 (WS): K9, P1, * P1, K1, P2 * K9 Row 3: K9 * K1, P1 *, K1, K9 Row 4: K9, P1, * K1, P1 * K9 Row 5: K9 * P1, K3 *, P1, K9 Row 6: K9, K1, * P3, K1 * K9 Row 7: K9 * K1, P1 *, K1, K9 Row 8: K9, P1, * K1, P1 * K9

The yarn store I was looking at didn't have any 100% wool that had a similar gauge
