I withdraw part of the pension fund from Israel, and paid 35% tax in Israel on that. How should I report this in TurboTax ?

[shap]

I do not have any special forms other than a form from pension fund stating how much I withdraw and how much I paid in taxes.

How did you handle US taxes when you made contributions to your pension? Distributions from you and your employer reported on your tax return as income should not be taxable again now when distributed, only gains.

[shap]

All contributions to pension fund in Israel were done when I was living there and I had no US tax responsibilities at that time.

what is your visa status?

[shap]

L1

How long have you been in the US? Was this an early distribution prior to pension age?

[shap]

2 years. It is an early distribution prior to pension age. That is why 35% tax was paid in Israel on this distribution.

You would enter that foreign income and foreign taxes paid using the directions in the 2 TurboTax FAQ below to record both the income and credits/deductions:
