Self employed

You’ll steps are correct. You may not see your compensation on Form 1116 if you did not enter your income a second time in Foreign Taxes in Deductions & Credits.

 

 TurboTax does not carry over self-employment income the way it does dividends.

 

  1. After you selected General category income on the screen “Choose the Income Type”
  2. On “Country Summary” select Add a Country
  3. On “Other Gross Income — (Your Country)" enter a description and amount in USD. 
  4. Then enter your "Definitely Related Expenses" on the next screen. Click on the check box Show me all of my deductions.
  5. Later, you'll add your foreign tax paid or withheld in USD.
