Deductions & credits

I don't see why you would need to report foreign tax withheld on your tax return, unless you are over the social security tax income level, or consider it foreign income taxes and want to get a credit for it. If so, you can enter it separately in the foreign tax credit area of TurboTax.

 

Go to the "Foreign taxes" section under "Estimates and Other Taxes Paid" in the "Deductions & Credits" section of TurboTax to see if you qualify for a credit for foreign taxes paid.

 

Please keep in mind that social security is not a tax, it is a contribution to your retirement account with the government.
