Retirement tax questions

There is no update. Enter your NR4 code 39 as a 1099-R as Tax Expert Alumni DianeC958 suggests in Filing 1099-R for Canadian Retirement Income (RMD).

 

She suggests using 11-1111111 as the federal tax number.

 

The boxes will not match. Use Gross Income from your NR4 as Gross Distribution (line 1) and Taxable Amount (line 2a) on the 1099-R screen. 

 

Covert your amounts to U.S. dollars. See Yearly Average Currency Exchange Rates.

 

TurboTax will not automatically add Form 1116. To claim a foreign tax credit or deduction:

 

  1. Type foreign tax credit in Search (magnifying glass) in the upper right corner
  2. Select  Jump to foreign tax credit
  3. Complete the screens to claim either the credit or deduction

 

For more help: Where do I enter the foreign tax credit (Form 1116) or deduction?

 

Use the non-resident tax withheld (converted into U.S. dollars) from Form NR4.
