I'm guessing that unless the pension is Canada's version of social security, you would use lines 16a and 16b. Is Canada withholding taxes on the pension payments, or is the taxpayer required to pay taxes to Canada? -- << ------------------------------------------------------- > << The foregoing was not intended or written to be used, > << nor can it used, for the purpose of avoiding penalties > << that may be imposed upon the taxpayer. > << > << The Charter and the Guidelines for submitting posts > << to this newsgroup as well as our anti-spamming policy > << are at www.asktax.org. > << Copyright (2007) - All rights reserved. > << ------------------------------------------------------- > |

| US Taxation of Canada Pension Plan benefits US Citizen and resident is receiving retirement benefits from Canada Pension Plan. Is this taxed like SS benefits? If so, how do you enter it, by adding it to SS income on the SSA 1099? My inclination is to treat it like a 1099R or perhaps just misc. income on line 21. Comments? If this was from the UK, would it be different? All freely provided advice guarantee correct or double your money back Frank S.
