is a foreign retirement account payout taxable?

a resident alien got a lump-sum distribution from a japanese retirement account and paid japanese taxes on it. all this happened in 2006, but the money was from when she was working in that country. do I have to report that? if so, on what form? which amount (the post tax part or the pre-tax part?)

thanks

    I think what you have to do is declare it as foriegn-earned income, and take the foreign tax credit on what you paid. You're going to come close to a wash since it's not a domestic source income.
