@VolvoGirlI will be getting an SSA1099, and since I have a good idea of what will be on it, I wanted to start getting an idea about what my taxes will look like this year. In addition, American citizens living in Canada are required to report their Canada Pension Plan amounts in the same way they report Social Security benefits. While it's true that not reporting it at all would have the same end result as reporting it and zeroing out Form 1040 line 6b, the IRS instructions do say that I'm supposed to report it. I have no idea if not reporting it would lead to any trouble down the road. And yes, I've called the IRS and the people answering the phone had no clue. They actually said to talk to a tax attorney.
