If you get Social Security benefits get Publication 915 (has a handy worksheet)
Do you have a foreign bank account? Don't forget FBAR.
FBAR (Foreign Bank Account Report) Old rule: Any bank account over $10,000 must be reported. New rule: Must report if all bank accounts total $10,000 or more.
Health Coverage Exemptions
Basically to get this exemption the requirements are the same as the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion.
You need Form 8965 (f8965). Also get the instructions (i8965). This gets filed with your 1040.
@Alien: Where do you get : "US health system is ridiculous in general"? Do you have any personl experience with the US health system? Have you ever even been to the US? I suspect you just had a 五毛 moment.
The US ACA, Affordable Care Act aka Obamacare, is a tax and a scheme for redistribution of wealth. Criticism of The US heath care system is not the quality and availability of care but how and who was paying for it. 90% of Americans had health insurance but that market insurance system was torn apart in hopes of providing insurance for the uninsured 10%. Even Obama stated that the total cost of insurance would go up. Young healthy persons are paying more, being taxed, so old sickly farts like me pay nothing. Last year, after returning to the US with no health insurance, I was treated for 65 days as an in-patient, given a wheelchair and a prosthetic brace and other stuff to take home. Then I received ten weeks in home therapy. Total cost, to me, of my stay and treatment was ZERO, nada, nothing. Not even五毛!
Cool! The local police don't usually require finger prints, I think. Glad to hear they came off the FBI requirement. It never was fast and doing it from China is slow and complicated.
@lemon lover:
Not only conspiracy theorists use BS. I stumbled onto Koire by following links of web 'authorities' who deny both the Tiananmen incident AND the holocaust in Germany. Go figure.
Somehow, progressive think morphs into antisemitic think into help the poor of the world by taking from 'rich' countries to give to... well I don't know who gets the wealth.
The Agenda 21 approach seems follow socialist wealth redistribution but skirts the central planning model. That is, until the central plan is replaces by Agenda 21 and implementation is by the masses. A horse is a horse, of course, of course.
So far, as I read Agenda 21, Koire's "inventory and control all land, all water, all minerals, all plants, all animals, all construction, all means of production, all energy, all education, all information, and all human beings in the world," is what Agenda 21 is all about. A horse is a horse, of course, of course.
I guess getting to the name calling is a lot easier than reading the 350 pages of Agenda 21. Saves time and thinking for sure. And, if you read the right snippets on the right websites to learn what you are suppose to think, you get to have your own ideological biases reinforced.
Yup, that's her, the lady that objects to private property being seized to create off street bike lanes. She describes her self as "[I've] been a Democrat since I was registered to vote . . . I'm anti-war, I'm gay, I'm [a] feminist." Not so much a right wing conspiracy nut I think.
Be aware they will push whatever they are selling. Some of the staff have no idea about the technical side of appliances.
I went there to buy a stove. I repeatedly told them I would be using bottled gas. They sold me a stove. When I went to my local gas guy, I learned there are at least three kinds of gas sold. Luckily, B&Q did not deliver as promised. I went back to the store and discovered they had sold me a stove they needed to be hooked up to the gas main. I got my money back.
The sales lady was almost in tears, 没有问题！I don't know if it a safety or design issue, but I would think B&Q would know and care.
Subway starts at 9am. I have no idea where to catch an airport express bus. Eight taxis refused to go to the airport. After almost an hour standing on Beijing Lu took a black taxi, this dude drives slower than my mother, 120 yuan.
Flight back was delayed so I learned the subway stops running at 6:10pm.
Getting a taxi back was easy, more taxis than customers. Taxi was 87 yuan including 1o yuan toll, airport to Beichen area. Yes, he took a longer route than necessary.
Kunming imagines being a gateway for international travelers. New airport but hard to get to and from it.

发布者Peter99, I concur with your praise of Mr. Goodman. Not so keen on the earrings.

发布者Thanks Mr. Goodman. I have a few photos of ladies in the pointed hats. Tried to find out, with no luck, about them. Very interesting piece.
