I have provided all figures and information for my tax returns EXCEPT what is written below.
I am a citizen of the U.S. (I am a dual citizen, actually) and started receiving "employment pension based on social security legislation" from a European country. This pension is very similar to social security payments that I am receiving here in the U.S. Now, an elementary question I have is in which income category does this fall? I think it is "Passive income" rather than "General income." Could you provide your thoughts on this?
Another question I have is (I am using Desktop version of TT Home & Biz), why does for 1116 require I also provide "gross income from all sources" (Part I, line 3e)? Doesn't TT automatically include this number?
Awaiting feedback!
JJ
