Retirement tax questions

Yes, Foreign Pension income is taxable in the US.  If you also paid Foreign Taxes on your pension, claim a Foreign Tax Credit on the tax paid.

 

If you have a 'government' pension from a foreign country, it may not be taxable in that country. 

 

To report the foreign pension income, under Wages & Income, scroll all the way down to Less Common Income, then to Miscellaneous Income 1099-A, choose Start/Update. 

 

On the next page, scroll all the way down to Other Reportable Income; choose Start/Update.  On the next page, you enter a Description and Amount (screenshot). 

 

To claim the Foreign Tax Credit, under Deductions & Credits, scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid; choose Start/Update for Foreign Taxes.
