Get your taxes done using TurboTax
@nitingupta on going back and reading this thread , I want to make sure that:
1. You entered all foreign and domestic earned interest as if you have received a 1099-INT. TurboTax will allow you to enter foreign earned interest ( tell TurboTax that you do not have a 1099-INT, but want to declare earned interest ), just with the name of the institution providing the interest, address and the amount in US$. ( Make a note of the US$ amount because you will have to report this as part of other Foreign source passive income for form 1116).
2. Foreign dividends are also reported similarly ( with no fed ID ) under the dividends.
3. Rental income , foreign or domestic are reported on Schedule-E --- Tell TurboTax that this is foreign residential property. Note the final income figure from Schedule-E --- this is foreign source that will have to be added as part of the foreign source income for 1116
4. Pension is reported under "pension" -- kind of format for 1099-R --- you will need the distribution amount, taxable amount, distribution code is generally 7 -- but look at the form and instructions for form 1099-R ---See here ---> About Form 1099-R, Distributions From Pensions, Annuities, Retirement or Profit-Sharing Plans, IRAs,...
5. For sale of Capital assets --- you use 8949, Schedule-D etc. and /or 4797
Note that in all these cases, the above is ONLY valid for US tax purposes. You foreign country IT filings ( India in your case ? ) are distinct and follow local rules.
Also when you are in form 1116, you have to enter the total foreign source income ( it is based on the US "income for those categories " , because that is the usually the doubly taxed income) and the taxes paid to the foreign taxing authorit(y/ies)
Does this make sense ? Is there more I can do for you ? If you are uncomfortable putting info here on the public board, you can always PM me ( just NO PII -- Personally Identifiable Information )
