Hi Jim, (Mike said you may could help answer my questions below) Thanks...
I am a US ciitizen, married to a Thai and living in Bangkok. I am required to file tax returns in USA and pay taxes on my US sourced income (SS, company pension, dividends, interest, capital gains, etc.) My questions. If I don't transfer any money into Thailand in 2024, then I shouldn't need to file a Thai tax return, even if I'm here more than 180 days. Is that correct? I have enough money here to live on. In 2025, I won't be in Thailand for 180 days, so I shouldn't be a tax-resident and can transfer as much money as I want in 2025, right? Also, what if I have some money in my US accounts at the end of Dec 31, 2023 and want to transfer those monies to Thailand in the future. Do I need to report that to Thai RD, and how? I don't think the USA is going to give me a tax credit for paying Thai income taxes on my US income. What do you think? Yes, they will give me a tax credit for paying taxes on my Thai income or interest. Thanks again for your time.
