Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@fjpuentes1974     First, as a US Resident for Tax purposes you are indeed taxed on your world income ( by the USA ) and given tax credit  for foreign income that was taxed by another taxing authority ( at source). However, what you are describing is a gain that is not available to you  i.e. a pension fund gains  are not available to you  till your retire and take pension -- is that not true in this case?   What country are we talking about ?   Don't fully understand why your accounting firm  had your gain in a pension fund  be  subject to US taxes.  Is this a national / govt. run  pension  or a private pension fund, is it tax favored, is it voluntary contribution or required contribution etc. etc.   Please provide more details on this  because I am not sure that it is taxable to the USA at this stage.  It is possibly reportable   on form 8938  per FATCA regulations.  So please ....
