@luisemalloy550 sorry for not being clear --- you CANNOT claim foreign taxes for 2023 on taxes paid ) to Portugal ) for 2022 tax year. Each year stands on its own.
As I see it and assuming that you owe taxes to the USA, your options are :
(a) Pay US taxes ( along with your request for extension -- you do not need it though because you are abroad); Turbo will print out ab estimated tax form; this gives you time to complete the Portugal Tax filing , then you finalize the USA return and hopefully you are in a REFUND position.
(b) Prepare your US return based on NIL or estimated Portugal tax, file the return per usual; then prepare Portugal return. Once everything is settled, you file an US amended return with the correct Portugal foreign tax credit.
Does this make sense now or am I still being obtuse ?
Is there more I can help you with ?
