Get your taxes done using TurboTax
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
