The taxable amount is generally the Gross Distribution minus the Cost.
Your retirement pension plan is generally taxed by the US as if it were a normal taxable account. Earnings within the individual pension plan may be taxable in the US in the current year, even if they are tax-free in the country where the plan is located.
You will need to exchange the amount to USD. I would suggest that you enter it under Other Income,
- Federal Taxes
- Wages and Income
- Miscellaneous Income
- Other Reportable Income
- Enter it as Any Other Taxable Income
If you paid foreign taxes on this income,you can also claim foreign tax credits.
Please see the attached from the IRS.
