Hi @pk,
Thanks for your response. Please find my answers & some additional questions
1. Regarding Pension - a) Yes I am trying to recognize & report my Indian govt. pension as part of my world income, since it is one of my income sources & b) Yes I am trying to exclude this income from US taxes, again to avoid double taxation since I already paid taxes on it to the Indian govt. & as per treaty agreement. c) When I try to enter the pension under "Less Common Income"->"Foreign Earned Income and Exclusion", since that is the only place it allows me to enter foreign pension $ amount only but doesn't let me specify what it is as from say "Govt of India Pension". I entered in that section as I did not find "other income" section as you noted. I am using turbo tax online deluxe edition, would I need some other product is it?
2. Regarding investment income from India - a)You noted --- You need to enter these incomes under the proper category , just as if these were domestic sourced -- Under personal income tab, then " I will choose what I work on " then from the drop down list of income categories. ----- I see under "Investments and Savings" only 1099-INT/1099-DIV/1099-B, don't see anything related to foreign stocks/mf to enter, since none of these forms are relevant to me as I dont have any of those? So again do i need to use a different product or look at a different section.
