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

Moved to US in 2021, only income was the pension in a foreign country. Cannot find appropriate button in Turbotax.

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

 

What is the TurboTax phone number? (intuit.com)

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.

@kulikova-anna- , having gone through the responses from @Anonymous_  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?
