I moved in US in 2018, and for year 2018 tax was filed by a CPA. In tax year 2018, there is some unsed foreign income tax credit to be carried over. But in 2019 as I have no foreign income, so it seems the unused foreign tax credit from year 2018 could not be carried over in tax year 2019 directly, so my questions:
1: I can only use my unused foreign tax credit from year 2018 by carry back option, instead of carry over to year 2019?
2: If the only option is carry back, in tax year 2018, I have used up the foreign income credit up limit and left some unused credit, how can I carry back the credit to tax year 2018? or even 2017? But I have no tax record in 2017 or prior to 2017.
3: After item 1 and 2 are cleared, where shall I enter the unsed credit in turbo tax, more detail is appreciated.
I am new to turbo tax, I really do not know how to proceed with the unused foreign income tax credit in 2018. I really appreciate for any useful info and directions. Many thanks for your kind help!
