If you paid or accrued foreign taxes to a foreign country or U.S. possession and are subject to U.S. tax on the same income, you may be able to take either a credit or an itemized deduction for those taxes.
To Add form 1116 on prior year's return that was already filed, you need to amend the return.
To amend 2019 tax return :
- Sign in to your account
- Scroll down to Your tax return & documents (you may need to select Show), select 2019 and then Amend (change) return.
- Follow the instructions. Don't worry if your refund changes to $0. This is normal on amended returns.
To add form 1116 to your 2019 return:
Both the credit and the deduction are entered in the same place. Here's what you do:
- Make sure you've entered all your foreign income.
- Go to Deductions and Credits.
- Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid and click Show more.
- Click Start next to Foreign Tax Credit.
