Retirement tax questions

@vmorishetty ,  since there is no Tax Treaty between US and Singapore, 

(a) are you a US person ( citizen/GreenCard) ?  

(b) From your post it seems you are no longer a Singapore  resident or citizen ?

 

Generally,  

(a) when there is no distribution, you will still come under  FBAR  ( form 114 , on line at FinCen.gov ) and   FATCA  ( form 8938 along with your  yearly return ).   See  here for details :

 

Comparison of Form 8938 and FBAR requirements | Internal Revenue Service

 

(b) Post distribution , you have to treat this income  just like an annuity / pension ( non-qualified  ) i.e. it is all taxable  income for US purposes.

 

(c) If Singapore taxes  this income/ distribution,  that tax is not eligible  for Foreign Tax credit / deduction because there is no tax treaty in effect.

 

Is there more I can do for you ?
