Deductions & credits

@hccheung  Good News .

I just installed the latest update ( think that was published on Friday -- today is Saturday.

The scenario I used -- Filing status MFJ, W-2 income 85000,   Foreign investment incomes :    RIC#1 - div. income 9000, FTax paid - 1000,  RIC#2  Div income - 5000, FTax Paid -- 500;  Germany  entity DIV -- 3000,  FTax Paid -- 400;  UK Entity Div -- 5000,  FTax paid 350.

 I followed the general  route of :

under personal income tab --- I will choose what I work on  -->   enter W-2 details --> Under Investment group , select    dividend  entry point  and  then  follow through entering the dividend incomes one by one in a round-robin fashion --  Add Investment,  select "dividend  " tablet,  enter the details required, "my 1099-div  has more boxes", enter foreign taxes paid.  Do this till all the  dividends are entered.

Once  Turbo recognizes that  you will have to fill out 1116 ( it seems), it starts to ask more questions such as country of income and whether it is "RIC"  or "Other" .

When all the entries are done, you will get a screen  summarizes everything and asks  " Do you want to Review your Entries ?" --- DO NOT SELECECT YES.  This is because if you do select yes, it clears most of the entries and you have to do everything again.  Select NO.

Thereafter  Turbo will take you to the deductions and credit   and pretty much walk you through  normally.  It will ask about the Foreign Credit, select credit and  simplified method.  You will have to enter again some of the information about the amount of foreign dividend, the foreign taxes  paid and the country etc.  Just go through carefully answering and making sure  that all entries are correct.

Once this is finished, you can run the checks  and/or go to the forms mode and verify that the  entries for 1099-DIV and the  form 1116 Comp. wks are correct.

In my case everything is as expected.

 

Is there more I can do for you ?
