Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@Takumi571 , now that we are settled on how you are going to handle your income statement, we can look at the employer contribution to the retirement plan.  As I said earlier, this is not constructive receipt-- you do not report it to the US today.  When you take distribution from your pension plan --- your taxed ( by the US , in that this was not excluded from your world income for US tax purposes ) contribution becomes the basis  in the plan and must be recognized over the life of the pension.  The growth of the fund ( including the employer contribution and its growth ) will be taxed  by US at that time -- all you have to prove is your contribution to the fund. That is the time the US-UK tax treaty conditions will come into play as to the amount and which contracting state taxes  the amount(s) . You DO NOT put up 8833 now.

 

Does that make sense ?  or do you need more on this
