Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thanks for the reply @pk!

 

Yep, you laid it out correctly. I am (then and now) a US citizen. I'm using TurboTax Premier Online and I don't see exactly what you're describing. I can go to "Deductions & Credits" > "Estimates and Other Taxes Paid" but then have options of:

 

  • Estimated Tax Payments
  • Income Taxes Paid
  • Sales Tax
  • Foreign Tax Credit
  • Credit for AMT Paid in Prior Year

Going to "Foreign Tax Credit" lands me in the same situation as the original post. Going to "Income Taxes Paid", then the only relevant option seems to be "Withholding not already entered on a W-2 or 1099" and that goes into a Federal / State / Locality breakdown that doesn't seem right for this purpose.
