I need help applying the Foreign Tax Credit to my IN State Tax Form.

Turbotax does not automatically do this from my Federal 1116 Form. I have found answers saying I need to manually do this from 2023 but I can't seem to make it work for 2025.  How can I enter the Foreign Tax Credit on my IN tax form in Turbotax for 2025?

I need help applying the Foreign Tax Credit to my IN State Tax Form.

To claim your 2025 Foreign Tax Credit on your Indiana return, enter the foreign country as another “jurisdiction” in the software. 

 

  1. Go to the State Taxes tab and start/edit your Indiana return.
  2. Navigate to the Credits or Taxes Paid to Other States section. (Indiana uses Schedule 6 for this).
  3. Look for a section titled "Credit for Taxes Paid to Other States" or "Taxes Paid to Another State."
  4. When it asks which state you paid taxes to, look for "Other" or "Foreign Country" in the dropdown list. 
  5. Once selected, there will be a dialogue box where you enter the foreign tax paid in the box labeled Tax paid to other State
  6. Then enter the Foreign Tax income earned as other State income taxed by Indiana.
  7. Now you should see this listed in Schedule 6.

Indiana's foreign tax is limited to 3% of your foreign income. If you find that our credit is smaller than what you paid, be mindful of this 3% limitation.
