Where to file Japanese pension ?

[Vanessa A]

You will enter your Japanese pension in the same spot you enter a Pension from a US based company.  However, when asked what state it is for, you will select  foreign.  When you select foreign, you will be given a list of countries to choose from.  Select Japan on this address screen.

To get to this location click the following:

• Federal
• Income
• Scroll down click show more next to Retirement Plans and Social Security
• Start next to IRA, 401k, Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R)
• Continue through until you are asked to Enter your 1099-s providers info

We were not asked to enter 1099-s provider information. There’s no place to enter country, etc that you mention.
