Deductions & credits
In this Turbo Tax article, you do not need to fill out form 1116 if you meet the following criteria.
- If all your foreign-taxed income was 1099-reported passive income, such as interest and dividends, you don't need to file Form 1116, provided that any dividends came from stock you owned for at least 16 days.
- Single filers who paid $300 or less in foreign taxes, and married joint filers who paid $600 or less, can omit filing Form 1116. But using the form enables you to carry forward any unused credit balance to future tax years; without filing Form 1116, you give up this carryover tax break.
- If your income came from a U.S. territory such as American Samoa, Puerto Rico, Guam, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, special rules govern how you use Form 1116 for the FTC.
Since you do not have a Form 1116 reporting requirement, please ignore my earlier advice about reporting this as 0% as this should not be an issue without a Form 1116. This was a reporting question while you were reporting form 1116.
if $85 is your only foreign tax paid for the year, you may wish to delete your Form 1116.
If in Turbo Tax online;
- Now, click on Tax Tools in the black left menu bar at the bottom of the form
- Go to tools>delete a form
- Delete Forms 1116.
- If using the software, go to forms>select Form 1116>once it appears in the right portion of your screen, select delete form at the bottom of the screen.
- Now log out and then back in your return. The changes should be complete.
Now once this is done, go to:
- Now, click on Tax Tools in the black left menu bar at the bottom of the form
- Go to tools>view tax summary
- Now check Preview my 1040 in the menu bar and check Schedule 3 in your 1040. You should still see your $85 credit in line 1 Schedule 3 as a non-refundable credit.
