I am not certain why there are two different amounts reported. i would assume that the US rate reported is a conversion rate to US dollars but you may need to check with the Trustee to see if this is the case. Boxes 17-27 are taxes that you paid while being a non-resident of Canada.
You may claim a Foreign Tax Credit for the taxes withheld in Canada in USD by going to:
- Federal>deductions and credits>deductions and credits>estimate and other taxes paid>Foreign Tax Credit>start or revisit
- When it asks We just need to check if you have any uncommon situations indicate I paid foreign taxes on income I earned while working in another country. Even though technically you didn't, you will to indicate this so the program can move forward.
- Navigate and record the entries that the program asks for and when you reach the page that mentions Foreign Tax Credit Worksheet, this is where you take notice.
- The first that you will be asked is what category of income is it, you will say passive income.
- Next screen will say Country Summary, select add a country and then select Canada.
- When it says Other Gross Income - Canada, don't put anything here since you already reported it using the steps Amy C recommended.
- then you will navigate through the screens until you come to a screen that says Foreign Taxes Paid - Canada, here is where you record the amount paid under Foreign Taxes on Other Income. Then below that you will enter the amount of taxes paid in taxes.
