Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@chievolt , if the  foreign country does tax  this capital gain  with an income tax, then you will have to file a form 1116 --- you tell Turbotax that you have foreign  tax to report --- do a search for  "foreign tax credit" then jump  to the topic -- that should open up the  worksheet for the  foreign tax credit -- enter the category as passive --- follow though  with all the entries.  Make sure that  the foreign income associated with this  tax is recorded properly -- TurboTax may not have enough info to fill this  ( because  it only knows the capital gain based on the sale of property  but not that it is foreign ).  This should work.

 

If you need more on this , please  provide the following info (a) which country;  (b ) was the property ever rented out at fair rent ; (c) how did you acquire the prop etc.
