MarilynG1's above response is ill advice.
A pension plan through a Canadian company is NOT a registered plan.
Canadian Registered Pension Plan is intended for RRSPs and RRIFs, distinctly different.
Hence, recommending claiming it as Canadian Registered Pension Plan is ill advice.
The one thing MarilynG1 got right is, claiming it via a 1099-R will fail b/c it requires a FED EIN, which applies to US institutions only. Canadian companies do not have FED EINs.
Note that declaring it as Additional Income from Schedule 1 (1040 ln 8 doesn't bode well either because states like Colorado declare 1040 line 5b as the amount that is eligible for subtraction from Colorado State taxes (applicable to pension incomes, including foreign). Ditto for Miscellaneous Income.
As such, fredk99's question was NOT answered. What is the correct answer?
