Thanks for the help but this still isn't clear within turbotax.
Just to be sure I got this correct from the responses.....
I added the gross distribution from the NR4 (changed to US $$) to Box 5 on SSA-1099.
Then under the deductions&credits, Foreign Taxes I selected "tax credit" rather than "itemize" the tax paid. That takes me to the foreign tax credit computation where I'm asked to include the amount received (used General Income Category) under other gross income and finally that section asks for the foreign tax paid (the amount withheld and noted on the NR4) All that seem correct? Thank you so much for your guidance. It just seemed odd to be including the gross distribution again under the credit section.
