I, a US Citizen, have moved to Japan and will be receiving Social Security Benefits and Traditional IRA Distributions. I will be taxed in Japan on both. I am not 100% sure, but I think this is what I have to do in the US:
First, pay taxes on both in Japan
Social Security -- Form 8833, gives Japan exclusive right to tax our Social Security. The US should then not treat it as taxable income.
IRA -- Form 1116, Foreign Tax Credit for taxes already paid on this money in Japan
Am I correct? Will TurboTax (Premium) know how to do this and will it ask the right questions, or will I have to go in and tell it I am in this situation?
