I have read this posting:

It seems both the tax experts agree so that answers a question I was going to pose.

The question I have now is how do you get the social security payments that you make in the USA credited to your Australian equivalent -- which according to the information here:

Is your superannuation guarantee fund in Australia.

Has anyone had any experience with this?
