Before leaving the US
Start with what you want to understand about the move. Note where existing records are held and how you’ll reach the people or providers who can supply them after you leave.
Make a research planLife between the UK and US
Moving from the US to the UK
A new home in the UK, with parts of your life still in the US. Start organising your questions around the move, your working life and the arrangements you keep on both sides.
Begin researchingPublic research and a preliminary diagnostic. Filing is not currently available.
One question at a time
Find your starting point.
Work and daily life in the UK
Choose a concrete starting point: a pay record, the period it covers, or a question about working in more than one place. Keep your question alongside the records you already have.
Make a research planArrangements on both sides
Separate the things you want to understand—an account, a retirement plan, a home or a business. Give each question its own place in your notes before looking for a specific answer.
Make a research planA useful next step
Leave with a clearer question.
Use your own notes. You don’t need to send Treaty your answers or documents.
- What do I want to understand? Write down one question about your move or an arrangement you’re keeping.
- Which period am I looking at? Note the year or dates so you can check the scope of anything you read.
- What will I do next? Choose a record to locate, an explanation to read or a question to ask a qualified adviser.
Choose your next step.
Explore your broader picture
Use the US–UK diagnostic to organise possible filing-area questions. It asks you to confirm your broad context; choosing countries here does not establish your residence or tax position.
