Deductions & credits

@remi_dubreuil , if you are a US person ( Citizen/GreenCard/ Resident for Tax Purposes ) you are taxed by the US on your world income i.e. all incomes no matter where generated.  Thus you must report/ recognize  your interest earnings  from Foreign bank(s).

Also note that any taxes paid to a foreign Taxing authority  is eligible  for  Foreign Tax credit ( in addition to  Treaty assertions depending on your immigration status ).   If the  total Foreign Tax Paid/levied  is equal/less that US$300 ( US$600 for a joint Filing ), you can use  Safe Harbor rather than  use of form 1116  ( with its limited allowable  credit for the year ).

 

Is there more I can do for you ?
