My client has an Aunt who is a citizen of Mexico and now lives in Mexico. YEARS ago she lived and worked in the US (California) and paid into a retirement. She found out last year Prudential had been trying to find her for years and paid her a huge lump sum of back distributions and started monthly distributions. My client just brought me the 1099-R (s) yesterday and I'm not sure how to file this. I thank you in advance for any guidance!

Hello, aboffice! Thanks for reaching out!

For guidance on how to report this 1099-R, we suggest reviewing this article, as it is addresses how to report the commonly employed distribution codes.

Hope this helps!

I guess I wasn't very clear. It is a code 7 normal distribution and I know how to report that. I guess I should have ask how you file? I'm not sure if they pay tax on it here, in Mexico or both. Thanks

In general, US citizens file Form 1040 and pay US income tax on their worldwide income.

The more I know the more I don’t know.
