Dave I am about to start my ta return and I also are one of those that have a foreign social security income that because the Payor country doen not have any bilateral / totalization agreement with the US , my foreign social security income is fully taxed in the US
Having said that and taking into account what you said a year ago that the best way to report foreign social security income or foreign pension is as Miscellaneous, and then describing what pension or social security is and the country which the income come from, the problem that I am facing now is that the system doesn’t allow me to find and filing form 1116 related to Foreign Tax Credit because the system doesn’t recognized anything in Miscellaneous as foreign sourced and consequently doesn’t allowed me to jump to link such form . Do you know how to do to be able to filling Form 1116 and also to link with Foreign Tax Credit Carryforward form just to be able to used such credits for my foreign source SS income ?
