Living overseas now, mailing in the return; and not being able to file it online using TurboTax or other software that does support form 8833 wouldn’t be ideal of course. That being said, I know that there are exceptions to the requirement to include a form 8833 and I believe that my situation would fall into that category. As a USA citizen who has to file a return, but who is re-sourcing their USA and Canada interest income (only income I have) to be able to utilize the provisions of form 1116 to provide FTC’s necessary to offset the income tax that would be due in the USA (because tax is due in Italy where I now reside and where I a: also now a citizen), wouldn’t that situation in fact meet the exceptions and avoid any need to file a separate form 8833?
