Retirement tax questions
@jdjz9705 , while I agree with my colleague @DoninGA , there are a few other things to consider ( and may require reporting :(
(a) assuming that you are asking about wire transfer between a "Foreign" bank account owned by you and a "Domestic " bank account , these transfers ( inward or outward ) are not tax events -- not requiring any reporting directly to the IRS. However your US bank ( participating in this / these transaction(s) will raise SAR ( Suspicious Activity Report ) as a matter of course and usually nothing come of it -- if the amount is US$10,000 or more.
(b) Because you have foreign Finacial account you do come under the regs. FBAR ( form 114 at FinCen.gov ) and /or FATCA ( form 8938 along with your Federal Return ).
(c) If the amount being transferred is large ( I think it is like a 1M or more ) you may need US Treasury awareness/ permission. Equally, the Foreign country may also impose controls on outflow of US$
(d) The transaction(s) cannot be with a sanctioned country / entity etc.
I don't know how much of this is applicable to your situation.
Is there more one of us can do for you ?
