Overseas pensions and US taxes
I'm living in France, and have been since 2018. I received US Social Security directly into my French bank account.
I file US and French taxes.
I have just discovered that I am eligible to receive a UK State Pension from when I lived in the UK in the 70s. When I do start receiving it, it will be paid directly into my French account, with no notification to the IRS. France does not tax pension income. What I'm wondering is whether the IRS will be informed about payments that the UK government makes to a US citizen living abroad.
My US accountant is not sure at this point, and I have yet to find relevant tax code references.
