Then to enter the taxes paid follow these steps:

  1. Click on Deductions & Credits (either in the center of the program or across the top)
  2. Click on Show more beside Estimates and other Taxes Paid
  3. Click on Start beside Foreign Taxes.
  4. Follow the prompts being sure to answer Yes to the question about entering the income.
  5. Be sure to enter the same income amount in this section - here the income amount is just used in the credit computation but does not get entered as income on your actual tax return.
  6. Note that your taxes paid on your foreign wages are General Category Income and taxes paid on things such as dividends would be considered Passive Category Income
