Deductions & credits

@Wndwo , First an apology for  this delayed response-- please forgive.

Second, I am not sure  that I understand  what you are doing when you refer to line numbers  of a form.  This is because  if you are  using TurboTax  to prepare your return, It is a very bad idea  to work on the forms directly  ( often this will invalidate the "checks " that TurboTax does  for consistency and accuracy ) -- you should  do this ONLY on the associated worksheet.  And even then  you should be  very familiar with the  form structure / intent and the tax laws.  Suggest you let the TurboTax do these tasks  and in the interview / "step-by-step" mode.  Use the forms mode to see that the forms have the expected numbers  ( both entered and/or calculated).

Third  and only if you still need help, I have had the opportunity to work through an example   with  1. foreign wages; 2. foreign self-employment income; and 3. foreign tax credit. Must say  there are areas of the step-by-step was not quite  explicit in what it was asking for   but at this time  the forms, the worksheets all match my expectations.  So if you need help, I could talk about the screens sequence and what I did where.

 

stay safe
