Deductions & credits

Hello rajarshim

Interestingly enough, the US tax code makes no substantive distinction between United States based real estate and real estate in a foreign country, when it comes to the question of being able to deduct mortgage interest or property taxes.  In point of fact, the rules for being able to deduct either are the same.

Therefore, in order to proceed mechanically in TurboTax, just make your entries in the deductions section as though the Indian home were your home in the United States.

Here is a well-written article on this exact topic that you may additionally find interesting:
