Retirement tax questions
@TMM322 , your post is so void of details that I don't know how to begin to answer this question.
(a) Are you a US person ( citizen/GreenCard)?
(b) Which country is your tax home? -- need to review the tax treaty ( if any)
(c) Assuming that your employer is a local entity, is this "employer contribution" govt. required item or just employer's good deed ( benefit package)? Whether required or not by the govt., is there any law that defines this benefit, how it is held ( a govt. account, a trust, etc. etc. ), how is it governed etc. ? What are the rules for distribution ? Is it taxed when contributed or what ? Is the distribution taxed and if so under what rules ?
(d) What are your plans for this account when you come back to the US ?
(e) Are you also contributing to SSA while abroad ?
AS you can see I need a lot of info before I can help you . So please answer my Qs. If you do not wish to answer on this board ( privacy concerns ), you can always PM me ( that does not show up on this board ) --- but please NO PII ( Personally Identifiable Information )-- that way I would not know who you are but will know the situation and answer based on that ONLY !
I will circle back once I hear from you--yes?
