Does anyone know the tax treatment of provident fund withdrawal under the US laws?


I got conflicting answers after a google search. The IRS publications are also not very clear


I had to withdraw provident fund due to bad health and it is not taxable in India

I am a US citizen resident in India


Thank you for any answers

you may want to post this question in Rajesh's thread. He likely would have an answer, but you'll need to wait a day or two for when he sees your post.
