Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@mpsingh08  first Namaste ji  and not to worry.  Generally   Turbo is correct,

On form 1116:

Your total available credit is on line 14 ( current  and carryovers )  Then it goes through to apply the limitation to make sure that the credit is ratiometric   ( foreign income to world income ) and can never be more then your world  US tax. -- this is on line 21

It then allows  the lesser of the allocated foreign portion of credit ( line 21 ) and actual foreign credit available --- line 24.  This is your credit. 

If you have multiple 1116 then part IV summarizes all of these to get to your final  foreign tax credit.

 

So not to worry.

However, I wonder why you went through all of this ( there is nothing wrong ), because  depending on your  filing status  Joint or single ( MFJ / MFS) there is a safe harbor amount of up to $600 / 300 that you could have utilized without going through form 1116. 

 

Rest easy -- Turbo has done its job ( unless of course I am missing something )
