@pk I was able to figure out how to add the self-employment income. Great! I feel like we're making progress.
A couple of follow up questions.
On SECA , all you have to do is to get a certificate of participation from Canada Social Security Equivalent and include that on your return along with Schedule-SE ( where you claim immune from SECA taxes ).
Here is more on this from IRS:
Totalization Agreements | Internal Revenue Service (irs.gov)
2023 Instructions for Schedule SE (irs.gov) ------ look at page 2 and also visit the SSA website referred
Question 1: Assuming I can get the certificate of participation from Canada, how do I tell TurboTax not to compute/add self-employment tax to its estimated tax due amount, and to include the certificate of participation along with Schedule-SE when I file online? Right now TT is showing approximately $3,500 of self-employment tax.
Question 2: For the foreign tax credit, when it asks to enter the income, do I enter the gross income from self-employment (roughly 41k or just the net income, approx 21k)? The TT pages says to enter 'gross income' but I want to be sure.
