Deductions & credits

No, this is not regal. In fact, if you try to claim the TDs on the US tax return, the tax would need to be reported as a "high tax Kickout" so that your foreign tax paid is not artificially inflated on a US tax return. This process can be highly complicated and can produce errors in determining your foreign tax. I would not suggest doing this because it may cause more trouble than it is worth.

 

i would suggest filing the Indian tax return to receive the refund. What amount that is not refunded, you can report this on the American tax return.  I realize the filing seasons are probably different so this may mean you will need to file an amended return to claim your foreign tax paid that was not refunded to you.
