Retirement tax questions
Yes, as a resident alien you will want to file the FBAR. Depending on the value, you may also have to file the Form 8938. Note- the FBAR is separate, has the $10K income threshold and has a different due date.
The FBAR Foreign Pension Plan reporting rules define a foreign pension as an account which must be reported. Even if the account was opened and earned prior to becoming a U.S. Person and no distributions are being made, it still must be reported on the FBAR.
Certain U.S. taxpayers holding specified foreign financial assets with an aggregate value exceeding $50,000 will report information about those assets on new Form 8938, which must be attached to the taxpayer’s annual income tax return.
