@abthreeI do have US tax adviser I will be meeting with to come up with a strategy on this end, but it's the Foreign Tax Credit which most online sources say you can reduce your US taxes dollar for dollar by what you paid to Brazil. Maybe she can ... Read More

@Peter ItamaracaFrom what I read online, as a taxable resident of Brazil, I'm supposed to report all Social Security, Pension, and IRA/401K withdrawals in the USA as income. Some will be taxable in the USA and I'll have to pay that because they have ... Read More
