Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Form 4852 is not available for e-file.  If you are preparing this form, you would need to print out forms and submit by mail.  

 

Another option you can do is to enter information under "Other Income".  This way you can e-file your tax return.

 

  • Sign in to your account and select Pick up where you left off
  • To your left, select Federal
  • From the top, select Wages and Income
  • Scroll down to last section -Less Common Income -select  Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C- Start 
  • Next screen, scroll down to Other Reportable Income- Start
  • Follow prompts

 For more information, see http://www.irs.gov/Businesses/The-Taxation-of-Foreign-Pension-and-Annuity-Distributions

 

If it is not taxable to you,

  • report your full amount as instructed above. Then enter the treaty exempt amount as negative amount (e.g. -5000) under Other Reportable Income as instructed above.  
  • Download and fill in a Form 8833 from IRS to claim an exception.  https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8833.pdf
  • You cannot e-file.  You may still use the TurboTax program to prepare all your tax forms, but you would need to print them out and submit by mail along with form 8833.
