Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you are correct. I should have asked if this was a Canadian private pension. In this case, you may report this by performing the following steps.

 

  1. Log into your account
  2. Select Wages and income
  3. Less Common income
  4. Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099>start
  5. Scroll to the bottom of the page to Other Reportable Income
  6. Other taxable income, answer yes
  7. Then give a brief description of the income and the amount listed.. Here, call it Canadian Pension and the amount.

To receive a Foreign Tax Credit for the tax you paid in Canada, go to:

 

  1. Deductions and Credits.
  2. Estimates and Other Taxes paid, 
  3. Foreign Taxes

This is taxable income in Massachusetts because Massachusetts does tax retirement income.  The information you entered on your federal return will populate into your Massachusetts state return.
