Paying taxes as retired person

[raffanti]

Hi, Really appreciate if someone can help. I recently moved over here after getting my green card via the DV lottery. I am medically retired and getting a pension from the Uk, I also pay taxes on a rental property I have in the Uk. Do I need to file taxes over here and am I likely to be taxes again?

Thanks in anticipation.

You MUST file a US resident tax return as a Permanent Resident. You should consult with an international tax attorney to determine what your tax liability will be; it will be subject to the provisions of the US-UK tax treaty, so you generally will be able to claim a credit against taxes paid in another jurisdiction.

Thanks a lot for your quick response. Any idea of the deadline to submit the returns?

Your tax return for 2008 is due on or before April 15th, 2009.
