Get your taxes done using TurboTax

In the Foreign Tax Credit section, you'll be asked first if you have other foreign income to report, other than what you already entered in the interest/dividends section.  Say Yes and Continue a few screens until you get a screen asking you to select the type of foreign income you have.  You'll be asked for the Country, Amounts of Income, Tax Paid, and whether 'paid or accrued'.  You'll then see the info on Form 1116.

 

However, if you're excluding foreign wages, go to the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion section to report this, and remember that you cannot also take a Foreign Tax Credit for income excluded from US taxation. 

 

The screens vary depending on which version of TurboTax you're using, which is why instructions may differ.  If you're using TurboTax Online, clear your Cache and Cookies periodically. 

 

Here's more info on Claiming the Foreign Tax Credit and Form 2555, Foreign Earned Income Exclusion
