Hello again to an old question from last year. I sold inherited property in India in 2024 and paid foreign taxes in India. for tax year 2024, filed form 8949 along with form 1116 and have a carry-over foreign tax credit for 2025. Now that I am filing taxes for 2025, how do I take the foreign tax credit from 2024?  

Thank you everyone for posting.  It does appear that the college expenses like room & board and tech, etc. now appear in the ONLINE version which is all I use.  Finally! I'm wondering though, for those who use the desktop version-it might not be updated yet? Hang in there...

If using desktop software, to see what method(s) TurboTax is using to calculate your tax, go into Forms Mode and pull up the Form 1040 Worksheet.   Scroll down to between Lines 15 and 16 of that worksheet and you will see a Tax Smart Worksheet.   It will show the method(s) it used to calculate your tax.

Do you mean the Tax Computation Worksheet?  That is a behind-the-scenes calculation in TurboTax and is not used for everyone, depending on the specific situations in your return.  If you want to look at it for manual use, it's in the Instructions to Form 1040. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040gi.pdf   What is the context for your question.?   Often the tax calculation in TurboTax is not taken strictly from that worksheet.    Some calculations involve the Qualified Dividends and Capital Gains Tax Worksheet, the IRS Tax Tables, and other calculations depending on the specific forms in your return.      You may first wish to see what methods TurboTax is using to calculate your tax.  We can tell you how to find that out.   Are you using Online TurboTax or desktop TurboTax?

Thank you for the response. I am using turbo tax online and I see different amount of prior year depreciation for my rental property on federal and CA return. I checked and confirmed that the amount shown on federal return is correct. How do I modify the prior year depreciation amount on CA state return?

Thank you for your response. I was able to file successfully. My problem was caused by the 1099-R that had box 16 blank. It should have been the same amount as box 1 (Gross Distribution). Once I entered the amount in the highlighted error displayed in my Turbo Tax filing there were no further obstacles to completion.
