Deductions & credits
There is no way to make TurboTax generate an interview for this section. But here are steps to help you enter this information into your tax return to ensure it is utilized if you are eligible to take the carryover credit.
- First, log back into TurboTax.
- Select the Deductions & Credits section.
- Scroll down to the section titled Estimates and Other Taxes Paid and in this section, select Start/Update to the right of Foreign Taxes.
- On the screen titled "Foreign Tax Credit," select yes when asked "Did you pay foreign taxes in 2024 or have credits to use from a prior year?"
- Proceed through the screens and answer the questions as it applies to your tax return until you see the screen titled "Foreign Tax Credit Carryovers." Enter your prior year carryover amounts by year on this screen. Select continue.
Your entries here will then flow into your tax return and if you are entitled to use any of them, TurboTax will preform that calculation and include it as applicable.
