Retirement tax questions
(a) Assuming that you are indeed a US person ( GreenCard ) for purposes of US tax filing,
(b) that both the Clal and the Gemel are private pension benefits / savings schemes ( i.e. not equivalent to US Social Security )
Yes you need to report these ( year end value thereof ) in Part II of the form 8938 and then details thereof in Part VI ( line 29 and follow-on lines as applicable ).
I think it is line 36 that is applicable since this is not a share but an account and it is a trust ( or behaving as a trust administering/managing an account with contributions from you and your employer ) -- no different than 401/403 type of retirement accounts in the US, except under Israel laws/regs.
Does this make sense ? Is there more I can do for you ?
