    Do I need to report swiss social security on 1040?
    I started receiving swiss social security, do I need to report this on the 1040? If so how, since I have not recevied any written tax documents or any other forms other than the monthly wire confirmation wiring the funds into my US checking account.

    Under Article 19 of the U.S.-Swiss Tax Treaty, who taxes the Swiss Social Security dependns on your residency status.

    If you are a U.S. resident, then the U.S. government taxes the Swiss Social Security.

    If you are a Swiss resident, then the Swiss government taxes it.
