Contact Support if you cannot resolve the issue (here or otherwise). Not many regular contributors use the online version.

Are you considered a US Resident Alien (or US Citizen)?  If so, was it for the entire year?

 

TurboTax is NOT set up well for first-year Residents, and isn't great at foreign income either.  So you may consider going to a tax professional that specializes in Nonresident Alien tax returns.

Hello! How to report a foreign unearned income in Turbotax? What section to use? Specifically Pension and interest income.

@kulikova-anna- , having gone through the responses from @tagteam  and @AmeliesUncle .  However, I have a few questions before the answer  could be anything but general:

1. When did you enter the USA ( in 2021 ) and under what visa ?

2. Which country were you a resident  of prior to moving to USA in 2021?  Are you a citizen of that country?

3. Is the pension govt or private? Is it based on work or age? Did you contribute to that pension scheme ? was it compulsory or voluntary participation?

4. Do you have a Tax id   ( SSN or ITIN )?  Are  you working / earning here in the USA?

 

Please answer  -- yes?
