Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Hi,

Reviving an old but good thread.  I am in similar situation where I sold an inherited property in France.  French IRS has automatically taken their share. It surprisingly wasn't too bad like maybe around 12% of the gain. Property was help 20 years.

I have entered the sale under income.  This made my owed amount in TT skyrocket by close to $10k.  
I am working on Entering the foreign tax credit (1116). I had read that it would offset my tax bill increase (the $10k) but it did not.  

Any idea where I may be mistaking?

Thank you!
