  • Claiming US withholding tax pais on 401k back from US

    Hi, my husband (UK citizen and resident) has taken a small lump.sum from his old 401K amd was charged 30% withholding tax. Even with this lump sum income he's within the 20% bracket here in UK so we want to reclaim the full amount of the US withholding tax paid so we can pay the 20% here in UK (ie we don't want to just do the offset thing as then we'd lose the 10%) Can anyone advise what treaty sections he has to include in the US 1040NR tax return in order to claim the full amount back so he can just pay the 20% here?
