How can I bring money from the uk to usa. I recently sold a home there and want to purchase a home in the usa

Question

I am not trying to sneak the money in. I would just like to find a way to pay as little tax or fees on the amount.

Answer 1

This can not be a serious question.  If you have the money - a transfer is very easy.  You will be audited if it is over a certain amount.  Tryingt o sneak it here illegally will get you in trouble with the federal government and the I.R.S.

Answer 2

Open bank account in bank located in USA, and wire in.  You can also have money wired to escrow agent, such an attorney.

Answer 3

The US does NOT tax moving money into the country.  I doubt the UK taxes moving it out.  If they do, HOW you move the money will not effect the taxes.  The safest way to move the money would be a bank wire transfer.

Answer 4

You can always have the money wired.
