Deductions & credits

If your foreign tax paid is $300 or more ($600 MFJ) then you must file Form 1116 to claim the tax credit. Most people claim the credit but there is a deduction option available.  See Where do I enter the foreign tax credit (Form 1116) or deduction?

If your income is from a brokerage, select RIC - regulated investment company, instead of choosing a foreign country.
