Bonus!! Renunciation and US Social Security
I renounced earlier this year, totally tax compliant.
I have at least 40 quarters of SS pay in.
I am approaching my 70th birthday.
I am a citizen (and resident) of Australia.
How do I apply for SS?
Can they direct deposit to my Australian bank?
If not, is receiving a cheque the only method available?
If tax is withheld (85%/39%) can I claim it back? How? I no longer file as I am no longer a citizen.
I’d also like to know the answer to this. I moved to AU in 2007. My last SS update paperwork (which hadn’t changed since then as I never returned to the US and relinquished) came to an old address. I have tried now, for YEARS, to get my address changed to my current, and likely last address I’ll have (as I live w/my son). The walls I hit say the same thing: your address is changed when you file taxes. I state I am no longer a citizen and no longer file taxes, and haven’t filed taxes, for years. That means the last address they have on file is from years ago. I am directed back into the US tax circle-jerk, over and over. All I want is to have my current address on file. My SS number is not recognized at the online website– one aspect of the circle-jerk I am tossed towards constantly.
John Richardson? Can you please speak to this issue? Cheers.
