Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@smicp , generally agreeing with your statements I.e.

 

1.  Your total foreign source income would be your gross gain from the alienation of the property : i.e.  the  difference between  Sales Proceeds  (  Sales price LESS  allowable sales  expenses including any commission, transfer tax etc. ) and  Your adjusted basis (  Acquisition basis   + cost of any improvements  over the years LESS accumulated allowable  depreciation over the period as income property ).  This is the income being doubly taxed.

2. Your Foreign taxes paid on this income is  current taxes  paid PLUS your  Foreign Tax Credit carried forward ).

 

3.  Your total Foreign Tax credit allowable for current tax year ( the year of recognition of the disposal of the asset ) is the lesser of the actual taxes  paid / accrued  OR   allocated UIS taxes on this foreign sources income.

 

Hope this makes sense .
