Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@user17705019283 , I created your situation -- US person, single, W-2 income ( with federal, state and FICA withholdings ) and a foreign ( Canada ) dividend income with FTC paid.  I took care to enter the dividend  income ( i.e. no import ) and  foreign taxes paid  (from relevant boxes of NR-4  -- box 16 and 17 ) in US$.   Note that the  dividend  income entered was as if I had a 1099-DIV but did not enter any Foreign Taxes Paid in that area.  Then while working on " Credits and Deductions " Tab, "I will choose what I work on",  chose  "Foreign Taxes ".  Here I entered the  foreign income again and the  taxes  paid to Canada --- this is a bit confusing but persistence paid off.  The result was that form 1116 was correctly filled out -- make sure you choose  " Passive Income" -- Turbo default is general category.

It does work as expected.    I confirmed by going into forms mode  and checked all the forms and  entries  therein.

I did not ask/ enter any tax treaty assertions for this dividend income and the resulting FTC.
