Deductions & credits

During the foreign tax credit interview, a screen will ask for Foreign-Source Income. You type in the foreign "ordinary dividends" which includes both unqualified and qualified foreign dividends and any foreign capital gains in box 2a. Later, a screen will ask for "any foreign source qualified dividends or long term capital gains". Here you enter the foreign qualified dividends and foreign long term capital gains. TT will make all necessary adjustments if necessary. You can ignore the rest of the instructions.
