I am a resident alien for US tax purposes. I earned salary in US and also a Canadian Public Service Pension. Where do I enter the pension income and taxes deducted?

[PatriciaR · Accepted solution]

Here are the steps to enter your Canadian NR4 Statement:

• While signed into your TurboTax account, Select Federal Taxes (top of program)
• Select the Wages & Income sub-tab (under Federal Taxes, top left of program)
• Select Retirement Plans and Social Security (may have to click "Skip to all income" to see all income choices)
• Select Start or Revisit next to Social Security (SSA-1099, RRB-1099)

The TurboTax interview will guide you through entering your NR4.

To enter any foreign tax you already paid to Canada, follow these steps:

• Select the Deductions & Credits sub-tab (under Federal Taxes, top of program)
• Select Foreign Taxes under Estimates and Other Taxes Paid (may have to click "skip to all tax breaks" to see all deduction choices)

Enter the amounts on your NR4 converted to U.S. dollars as of the transaction date. Please click this link for historical conversion rates:   https://www.fiscal.treasury.gov/fsreports/rpt/treasRptRateExch/treasRptRateExch_home.htm
