Deductions & credits

For the US Tax Year 2023  ( assuming that what is talking about ),  you have allocate  the incomes  from Jan 1st through  Dec 31st  of 2023 --- it is easy to do  for rental income,  Interest and dividend.  However, for the taxes imposed / levied / paid ( foreign taxes )  by India is a bit messy.   Generally you have to use the average  income tax  from  the tax year 2022 ( Apr. 01 2022 through  Mar 31st 2023 ) for the months  Jan, Feb and March and then use the average rate of tax  from 2023 ( Apr. 01 2023  through  Mar 31st  2024)  for the months  Apr. through Dec 2023.

As far as I am aware , IRS docs/ rules do not take this issue into account ( it is kind  implied  in talking about  taxpayers/ entities  with  a  tax year different than calendar year and use of accrued  accounting basis ).   The nearest reference is Instructions for form 1116   ( most direct  ) and Pub 519  & Pub 54
