When I retire here next year, will my US pension and Social Security be taxable in Thailand? Will I be paying Thai taxes and US Federal taxes? I guess at least I won't pay colorado state taxes.
TLDR : Answer Summary
As an expatriate retiring in Thailand, your US pension and Social Security are generally not subject to Thai taxes due to the tax treaty between the US and Thailand. If you are a tax resident in Thailand (spending 180 days or more in the country), you will need to report your income on a Thai tax return, but you may not be taxed again if you have already paid taxes in the US. However, the situation is evolving, and the exact rules are not finalized yet, so it's advisable to consult a tax expert.
