Deductions & credits
hi Dave!
You're my last hope! We're married filing jointly for 2023, both US citizens relocated to Canada in Sept 2023. Used the online turbo tax software and there is an issue with the foreign income (Canadian salary on a T-4 working for a public company) flowing to form 1040. It picked up my foreign income on form 1116 but I believe it should flow to form 1040 line 1h as mentioned by you above. Another tax expert on this forum suggested entering it as self-employment income, I don't believe that is correct because the 1040 it generates still shows line 1h as $0 and I believe SE income can calculate 1/2 of SS ad Medicare too (and it is not income from self-employment at all). I'm about to file for an extension and am extremely disappointed that such a sophisticated software is not picking up foreign income anywhere on the 1040. If you could please suggest how to get my foreign income on the 1040 the correct way, I would really appreciate your help.
