I’m a U.S. resident who sold real estate in a foreign country. Is this taxable to me?
U.S. citizens and residents must pay tax on their worldwide income. There is a limited exclusion for earned income (up to $103,900 in 2018), but there is no exclusion for gain on the sale of property abroad.

Capital gain distribution
A mutual-fund distribution allocated to gains realized on the sale of fund portfolio assets. You report the distribution as long-term capital gain even if you held the fund shares short term.
