Robert:
Thank you for your guidance, but I don't know how to do this:
- Originally, I imported the 1099 from my Brokerage Firm via the TurboTax "import function". I cannot find a way to see "all the information that was entered" through the import; yes, I found the line items in the detailed "gross proceeds" with further detail for each line of import for Stock Trades, but I cannot find any information as to whether 1 - any foreign tax was captured in the Import, and 2 - any trade was marked as "foreign income".
- Then, when I worked on my Foreign Income, I remember that TurboTax asked me to enter "the Foreign Income associated with the Foreign Tax"; I had to comb through my Brokerage Tax Statement to find this information, and entered it and calculated a total in a spreadsheet - so I know that I entered that amount, a little less than $4,000. Nowhere now in TurboTax can I find that number; and instead, I find a negative number, roughly -$1,300. So, it's not as if I entered the $4000 erroneously as a negative number; there is some kind of calculation happening, but I have no idea where that calculation is in TurboTax!
How do I make sense of this?
Thank you. Patrick.
