I still did not understand how to report a interest on investments earned in another country and get the FTC. have already discussed with an agent CASE #xxxxxxxxx.

To claim the foreign tax credit, here are the steps: 

 

In TurboTax online,

• Open up your TurboTax account and select Pick up where you left off
• At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in "foreign tax credit" and Enter
• Select Jump to foreign tax credit
• Follow prompts
• Choose the Income Type, select "Passive Income"
• On screen, "Country Summary", add a country to continue
• On screen, "Foreign Taxes Paid", under foreign taxes on Other Income, enter the amount
• Follow prompts to enter foreign taxes if you did not enter it on 1099-DIV
• See image below.

 

 

 

 

If you pay taxes on dividends to both foreign and US government, you may claim a foreign tax credit on your taxes.  

Thanks My income type is "Certain income re-sourced by treaty" for the interest income but the FTC is being ignored. TT seems to only accept the FTC on 1099-DIV. 

It depends. How much was the FTC. If $300 or under, it doesn't require a 1116. the reporting on the 1099-DIV is sufficient.
