What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CT
Hoping someone might be able to give me some clarity on this.
I am a Canadian citizen who has been in the USA on a L1 visa since July 2013. Prior to this I worked in the Cayman Islands from November 2010 until June 2013. During my time in the Cayman Islands, both my employer and I contributed to my pension, based in the Cayman Islands, as per local law. As the amount was over $5k, I was required to wait 2 years before being able to receive this money (pension refund), once I left the islands.
I am due to receive the money in July of this year, however am not sure if it will be subject to taxes. It was earned while not living or working in the US, however I am now a US resident for tax purposes, and will receive this money while living and working in the US.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!
