Retirement tax questions

Hi Mary,

I read many questions on related to my case in Turbo Tax Community. I am still not clear with reporting this Singapore Pension.

Let me list out my questions:

1. This Singapore Pension (CPF) is owned by government entity.

2. The contribution bears interest which is given by CPF

3.  I follow your suggestion to report in the tax filing and now I owe $16K to Federal

4. I am staying in Malaysia and I am working in Malaysia. I don't have any US dollars to pay what I owe to Federal

Did I enter anything incorrect? As I mentioned this contribution was done before the US citizenship, why do I need to pay the tax to the Federal?

 

Thank you
