8891 for the first time

Post by smzsul »

I am filing this for the first time.

6a) No
6c) check the box

7a, 7b) 0 (no distributions taken)

8) FMV balance of the account in USD

9) Contributions : 0 (none after becoming U.S resident)

10) Pls clarify

It seems like on 6c) I am asking to defer the undistributed earnings, but 10 saya enter the earnings on 1040 ?

Do I need to fill this or skip it ?.

Thanks,
smzsul

I have re-read the form, on line 8 it says, if you checked box on 6c), stop here. So, please disregard my question regarding. But confirm the rest.

This is the most straight forward and simplest IRS form I have seen :)

just make sure you check beneficiary.
After 20 years, I am severely cutting back on responses. Do not ask specifically for my help. There are a few others on this board that can answer most questions. All the best
