Apologies if Im asking things that have been mentioned before but I just cant find all the answers so...
Im biting the bullet to file after finding out a few months back I had to! 7 years in UK as dual US citizen. Normal job, not much savings. Just trying to make sure Im on the right track for 'Streamline' process. As far as FBAR Im thinking I dont need to do anything as I havent had near 10k in my bank account(s) over the last 6 years. I have normal salaried job. (Not enough money to pay for someone to do my taxes!). Im thinking I just need 1040A. Not sure about what to do in the parts where it asks about W2. Also I have pension plan at work. Minimal contribution from employer and also 2 old pension plans with a few thousand in each. Again just the company pension plans. I also have 401k in the USA which I never moved. Its worth around 60k dollars. Is there anywhere I can get more advice where in the forms I have to declare these things? Any direction appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
