Legal Question in Tax Law in Texas

Pay taxes on income in another country

I own some stock in Switzerland that pays me a small amount of income that is being paid into an account in Switzerland. I have listed that money on a previous tax return in the US but not in all of them. What do I need to do?

I would need to know more about your situation to give any definitive advice.
