Foreign Tax Credit - Cannot Enter

[Dave0823]

I'm a dual citizen (Canada / US) living in Canada but performing consulting to the US.  I received a 1099-NEC that included nonemployee compensation.  Taxes were not withheld.  Because I live in Canada, I withheld taxes to Canada based on the nonemployee compensation amount.  How do I include the taxes withheld to Canada in my US Tax return.  I stated I have a 1099-NEC but when I jumped to "Foreign Tax Credits" and take the "Credit", I entered "Canada" as my Country of Residence, "12/31/2020" as date of Taxes Paid and foreign taxes as "Accrued".   No carry overs from 2019.  At this point it returns me to the "Your 2020 Deductions and Credits" splash page.  No where does it ask for the Foreign Taxes paid.   Am I missing something here or do I need to enter my foreign taxes elsewhere?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi rogge1722,

Thanks for replying - much appreciated!

When entering the gross amount and foreign taxes paid, do you enter the US amount or do you convert to Canadian?

Thanks again!

Cheers,

Dave

All amounts in TT are in USD.
