Hello,
Anybody can help?
I am a US citizen. I have to report social security payments from Poland. This payment are subjected to a 14% tax in Poland. I believe i can claim a foreign tax credit since there is an agreement between two countries eliminating double taxation.
I cannot report it on form 4852 because of the lack of recognizable TIN . Additionally, I did not know how to report the tax paid (i tried to report taxes as a federal tax withheld, which may have been wrong)
The second option, i think, is to report the payments on 1099 -MISC as the interest payment and claim the foreign tax credit on form 1116 .
Thanks. Mike
