Get your taxes done using TurboTax

When you go through the Foreign Tax Credit screens, there’s one where you enter the actual income (it’s right after you enter the country, or “RIC” for Regulated Investment Company). Is it possible that the $667 foreign tax amount has been entered as the “Foreign Source Income” on this page? That would reduce the credit to something in the ballpark of the $85 you’re seeing, and also explain the Form 1116 line 1a entry.

@Coach209, have you entered everything else in your return, and verified that there’s a tax liability (on line 16 of your 1040) to reduce with the credit? (If there’s only an $85 tax liability on that line, that will be the credit amount.) I’m guessing you’re on top of this (as you have Foreign Tax Credit experience), but I thought I’d bring it up (in case my first paragraph isn’t the answer), as it’s sometimes the cause of an unexpected result.
