Deductions & credits
@user17716050122 do you have a question ?
Your solution to "file by mail" only situation i.e. when taxable income is zero ( AGI LESS Deductions allowable), is a bit complicated. The old way was to add interest income of US$1 or similar.
I don't understand why your heading for the message is "Foreign Tax Credit". I say this because FTC is not a refundable credit i.e. FTC can only reduce your tax liability. So if your tax liability is zero because of other credits etc., all of the Foreign Tax Credit is carried ( backward or forward ).
Is this what you are talking about or am I in left field ?
