Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@MVLUSnr 

First there is NO special category of income called Foreign source.  Thus 

For recognizing / reporting income

1.  Enter  your   Interest and Dividend income without regard to sourcing i.e.  Foreign source  Interest  ( from Indian Banks / financial institutions  ) are entered just as if these were domestic sourced.  Ditto for Dividend incomes.

2. For claiming foreign tax credit , you do this  under  " Deductions and Credits " tab where there is a  "Foreign Tax credit " section.

3.  Since you do not have  Foreign Earned Income , you do not enter anything  for  " Foreign Earned Income Exclusion " section.

4. For your  "Foreign Pension"  from public funds   and per  US-India Tax Treaty, please follow the  "clutzy" method I have described in my earlier post.

 

Does this help answer your query ?   If you need more help , please add here  ( if of general interest ) or PM me if the topic/material is specific  to your situation  -- just no PII, please .

 

Namaste ji
