I am a US resident alien.
In the summer I spent 3 months in France to work where I paid 3500$ in taxes based on 20000$ income for those three months.
When I enter my foreign income and my foreign taxes paid in France in the section Deductions & credits, the tax credit amount is about 1000$ smaller than the amount paid in taxes in France, which makes me think that the calculation was not made correctly because I would be losing 1000$.
Could you please help me understand?
