Deductions & credits

@karenkailua . from your attachments, I tried out the scenario and I agree generally with what you are seeing.  It appears to be correctly handing the data.  However:

1. what are two countries ?  Know one is Sweden ( for mutual funds ) . 

2. His pension  is from where ( which country ? );  Is is also taxed at source?

3. Are you living in the USA or abroad ( Sweden ? or ? );  How long have you been there ?

 

One thing to make sure  is that the form 1116 is correctly filled out  and for that the forms mode is essential-- so I am glad that you have desktop version.

One thing that I do not believe is correct is your reporting the pension ( foreign? )  as other income ---- you will need to create a substitute 1099-R --- recently I have answered this for another poster whom had a 1042-s  for his/her 1099-R -- of course that was from USA and he was living abroad.  But you have to do the same .  

Do you need help on this ?    You will need his basis in the pension fund and the type of pension I.e. private or govt. or equivalent to Social Security or what ?
