The IRS has changed the way they want you to report a Foreign Pension, since - as you have discovered - a "dummy" TIN will no longer work. Therefore, you will now enter your foreign
pension as "Other Income." To enter it on your return,
follow the instructions below:
- Choose the Federal return and the Wages & Income tab.
- Scroll
down to Less Common Income (you may have to choose Add more income and See more income to view this topic) and Show more.
- Choose Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C.
- Choose Other Reportable Income and say Yes.
- The screen
says "Do not enter income reported on Form 1099-MISC".
This is where you will enter the description "Foreign Pension"
and the amount you received.
