US citizen living in Italy with CPP, OAS and UK state pensions

Anonymous — Mon, 09 Mar 2026 08:42:38 GMT

I have US, Canadian and UK citizenships. We moved to Italy on 15 Dec 2020. This is my first year filing 1040 as a nonresident of US, a bona fide resident of Italy. I receive SSA and will enter as usual. From my understanding CPP and OAS would not be added to SSA because I am not a resident of US. So, where and how do I report CPP, OAS and UK Basic State pension? These are all government pensions and covered by treaty's.

Hello,

We are American citizens not resident in USA, we now live abroad in Italy.

1040 NR = A non-resident alien is somebody who is not American and lives abroad, but who earns taxable income in the U.S.

You file your taxes using regular Form 1040, not 1040-NR. You are taxed on your world-wide income. Your foreign pension may be tax-free, partly taxable, or fully taxable.

Here is IRS Publication 54, Tax Guide for U.S. Citizens and Resident Aliens Abroad.
