Commision owed to me by work

[Saffyre 0]

This is a bit of a strange scenario, but bear with me.

I work as a recruitment consultant and I have several commisions that are owed to me, but aren't due to be paid to me until August, Sept, and Oct......but I leave the company at the end of July.

My employer has agreed that I am still owed these monies but because of the nature of the business they cannot pay me until the person concerned actually starts work in their new role.

Now, if they give me my P45 when I leave then they wont be able to pay me, but if they don't give me my P45 and they pay me, will this cause me problems with my green card? Because although i'm technically not working, I am being paid money - so would the US require me to pay tax on it, even though I already paid UK tax?

Sorry to be so long winded and confusing.

Saff.

Sorry I can't help on the money part, but I would of thought it won't have any consequences relating to your gc.

On a side note - I didn't think you had to report your overseas earning to IRS unless its above a certain amount. (But I am not sure about that either lol)
