Deductions & credits

Foreign pensions do not follow the same IRS as a US pension. The contribution must b reported as foreign income the year it is made is not eligible to be tax-deferred when it is withdrawn.

 

As i mentioned earlier though, since it is foreign income, it can be eligible for the foreign income exclusion if within the foreign income exclusion threshold.
