Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You can claim a foreign tax credit or deduction on income that is double taxed by the US and another country.

 

To claim the foreign tax credit:

  1. Type foreign tax credit in Search in the upper right
  2. Select Jump to foreign tax credit
  3. Complete the screens to claim either the credit or deduction

For more help: 

Where do I enter the foreign tax credit (Form 1116) or deduction?

 

For your wife's residency, I am unsure what section of TurboTax you are working on.

 

If you are claiming the foreign earned income exclusion and using the physical presence test, you can use January to December 2021 since your wife was out of the US for the whole year.
