tax on foreign retirement income

My wife has pensions in the UK from before she moved to the US and became a naturalized citizen. Will we have to pay US taxes on those funds when we move that money to the US?

If you take a distribution you will need to include that in your taxable income. If you simply roll the funds over from one retirement account to another you won't have to pay tax on the rollover distribution.
