Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Because you’re now in your 70s and presumably a U.S. tax resident, the U.S. will tax you on worldwide income, including distributions from an Australian retirement fund.  Typically, contributions are not subject to US tax, but earnings are.   

 

Were you a US citizen when the account was being funded?  

Have you reported the fund on FBAR or Form 8938 or 3520?
