Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You could do that; however, Sick Pay is different in the US.  You are asked if you paid the premiums, your employer paid the premiums, etc.

 

In some cases, Sick Pay is non-taxable; can be paid by the government, an employer, or a third-party insurance company.  Usually reported on a W-2 or a 1099-G, which you don't have. 

 

I would recommend you report as 'Other Reportable Income' with a description and take the Foreign Tax Credit.

 

Net out is Taxable Income that you paid Foreign Taxes On.

 

Keep documentation with your tax return.
