I hear you @Anonymous_ I tried the deduction method you suggested, but it did not give me a single dollar of reduction in my taxes which basically means I being double-taxed both in USA and the foreign country - is that what you experienced too? I was willing to forgo the ~$100 of carryover for next year, but to forgo the entire ~$400 in tax credit is a bit hard to swallow (both financially and on principle). Sad state of foreign tax laws indeed. I guess my choices are: a) get this return filed w/ a CPA (may not be wise given the CPA fee will eat up the ~$400 not to mention the loss of time looking for a good CPA) or go w/ another software (not sure which other software is good out there). Or wise up and just suck up the loss of ~$400 and call it a day. Any other out of the box options?
