'Thanks Marilyn I did as you said and it reduced my refund from 16,317 to 12,271 so obviously entering it as a pension gave some sort of favorable treatment and as other reportable income did not.
And yes, I did enter the foreign tax credit and I had a carryover and my foreign credit/carryover was reduced from 6004 to 5300. Feeling going the paper copy route may just be better and yield a higher return
