It may be possible to report the income one way for federal tax purposes and another way for state tax purposes. To do this, you would first complete the federal tax return, in this case reporting the foreign pension income as "other income." You would then e-file or mail in the federal return. Next, you would change the income reporting on the federal tax return to conform with state requirements, and then file the state return. This would be possible in states that allow the state return to be e-filed separate from the federal tax return, or for states that do not require e-filing so you could mail in the return.
