Thanks for your clear and concise advice, RRY.

On the basis of your questions I would be a non-resident. Good to know about the dividends (which I have only been receiving in the the 2007-8 UK tax year), and the tax which is currently being withheld from my savings.

I will get moving with the Form P85 and then file returns. I am not confident about getting the return i(and presumably historic returns for 05/06, despite non being 'resident'?) 100% correct in light of the already-filed US returns, so would like to engage a tax accountant to help me. Would your firm be interested in advising me ? If so please let me know and we can discuss nex steps, fees etc. If not, could you recommend anyone else in the NYC area?

Thanks again,

Adam
