Deductions & credits

When you go through the foreign tax credit section in TurboTax, you are asked to assign a country to your foreign tax reported on your 1099 statements and elsewhere. You are also asked how much income was earned in each country. It appears that the income assigned to one or more of the countries must be less than or not much more than the tax paid. The income should be considerably higher that the tax, since the tax is only a small percent of the income typically.

 

I suggest you to back through your foreign tax credit entries in TurboTax and make sure you entered the correct income for each source of foreign tax paid.
