Deductions & credits

@gswu  continuing from my earlier post , I have simulated your situation i.e. (1)  FEIE +   (2)form 1116  ( general category ) covering   allocated foreign tax on un-excluded  Foreign Earned Income  of $106,500  ;(3)  form 1116 ( Passive Category ) covering  Rental income of 50K and Dividend income of 250K.  I can see the   FTC  on all categories and Turbo Ta behaving as it should.    However, none of this takes place  by itself i.e.  form 1116  general category  is not prompted for by TurboTax even though it knows that there is  "un-excluded " foreign earned income  that needs  FTC treatment. 

Therefore there is a lot of  running between Step-by-step and forms mode to make sure that the figures are correct.

 

Is there more i can do for you  ?
