I am a green card holder living in US. Last 2024 I received a one time payment of 10000 dolars from the public retirement fund in Peru ( similar to US Social Security). How do I report on my Us income taxes.

@Karem , Unfortunately there is no Tax treaty between US and Peru.

Thus you will have to declare this  income as a pension  with full amount as taxable income  ( generally you should be able to do this telling TurboTax that you have pension/annuity income  and  that everything in  box 1 is taxable.

 Also if  Peru taxes this income, you do not get any foreign tax credit because there is no  treaty  "double taxation " clause in effect.

Is there more I can do for you ?

Thanks so much.

I thought I would be able to report this as a social security payment.
