How do you calculate foreign income (for foreign tax credit) when dealing with ETFs?

Matt18 · ‎March 12, 2024

Thanks for any help. TT asks for total foreign income and total foreign qualified income when calculating the foreign tax credit. My 10099 statement doesn't indicate which stocks or ETFs have foreign income, only which ones have foreign taxes withheld. I know some of my ETFs have foreign stocks in their portfolio.

A couple questions:

1) How does the total foreign income and qualified income affect my taxes? Does it only impact the % of my foreign tax withheld that I get a credit for?

2) How do I calculate total foreign income from my 1099 for ETFs?

Thanks, much appreciated
