Hi,
i tried this path as well. The problem I encounter was that i had to report the foreign security payment on the form 1099-INT, BOX 1 as the interest income , what is de facto not true since it is not the interest income, and the income tax paid in the in Box 6 (which which make sense for me ) and linked the form 1099-INT to the form 1116 -foreign tax credit.
So my question is- should i use the form 1099-INT to report the SS income or use another form to report the income and link that form to the foreign tax form 1116 for the credit claim.
Thanks for your help
Mike
