Where do I enter foreign retirement benefits?

You will enter foreign retirement benefits as "Other Income."  To enter your foreign pension on your return, follow the instructions below:

  • Choose the Federal return and the Wages & Income tab.
  • Scroll down to Less Common Income and Show more.
  • Choose Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C.
  • Choose Other Reportable Income and say Yes.
  • The screen says "Do not enter income reported on Form 1099-MISC".  This is where you will enter the description "Foreign Pension" and the amount you received.

Where do I enter foreign retirement benefits?

I was concerned about showing  the amounts I had received whilst not a resident of Maine and how that would show on my Maine taxes.  I called again and was advised to go the Subtitute 1099-R route.

Only issue I now have is,  I cannot enter a tax number for the provider of the Pension. They do not have American tax ID's

@RD-Jones You can try entering all 9's for the EIN. If you are unable to efile though, you will need to print the return and mail in to both the federal and the state.
