Taxation on investments on a deceased person's in USA

Postby dianadod » Wed Feb 28, 2018 8:40 pm

My sister has recently passed away in the USA. She was a US citizen and had a portfolio of investment, some subject to tax. I am a named benbeneficiary but have been told to claim I need a US Tax Reference number. Nobody seems to know why and how to obtain this reference. I do not currently pay UK tax as my pension income is below the tax allowance threshold. Can you advise me what my position is and how to proceed?

Diana - I am sorry to hear of your loss. I was the first IRS Certified Acceptance Agent in the UK back in the year 2000 and these days help several hundred people each year obtain an ITIN (a US Individual Taxpayer Identification Number) in situations jut like yours. Please feel free to get in touch.

With kind regards
