The directions do not correspond to what I see. Under Estimates and other Taxes paid my site only shows Foreign Tax Credit and not Foreign Tax. When I click it only allows me to enter the countries for dividends. The RRIF income which I entered under IRA, 401K, Pension plan withdrawals with the foreign address and no ID for payer since the Canadian company does not have the ID that is compatible with other IRAs. I cannot find the Foreign Taxes under the Estimates and other taxes paid section.
I have called 2 times by phone and the person is as ignorant as I am and wastes considerable time asking me to do things again and again with no clue what I had already spent several hours and could not solve. Last several years I could get the response easily on the search section but this year I only get something on CAA etc and nothing on RRIF. This reply while elaborate is not also helpful since there was no Foreign Taxes under Estimates and other Taxes paid on this site. Possibly this is for those that buy the soft ware and not those that use the internet to complete the form.
HOPEFULLY SOME ONE WILL CALL ME AT [phone number removed] OR EMAIL ME HOW TO PROCEED WITH MY ENTRY OF RRIF WITHDRAWAL AND THE TAX CREDIT. FURTHER I ALSO HAVE SOME NETHERLANDS WITHHOLDING TAX ON MY STATE PENSION PLAN THERE. I HAVE REPORTED THE INCOME AS A COMBINED ONE WITH THE US SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENT. BUT NOT ABLE TO ENTER THE INFO FOR TAX CREDIT IN THE SAME WAY. IS THERE A DIFFERENT WAY TO ENTER THE PENSION PLAN INCOME FROM NETHERLANDS SEPARATELY AND ALSO CLAIM TAX CREDIT FOR THE WITHHOLDING TAXES THERE.
