It depends if there is a treaty between the United States and your wife's country and does the treaty say the payments are taxable or not taxable

 

Per The Taxation of Foreign Pension and Annuity Distributions you need to look at the treaty for the country, normally in Article 4 in most treaties, to determine if the payments are taxable.

 

To locate the treaty go to United States Income Tax Treaties - A to Z.
