Here's how to enter your foreign income:

  1. Sign in to your account
  2. Search for foreign income.
  3. Select the Jump to link in the search results.
  4. Answer Yes to Did You Make Any Money Outside the United States?

After entering your income, follow the steps below to claim the foreign tax credit (Form 1116):

  1. From within your return, search for foreign tax credit and select the Jump to link in the search results
  2. Answer Yes to Did you pay foreign taxes in 2021 or have credits to use from a prior year?
  3. Follow the instructions to get the credit or deduction. If you choose to take the credit, we'll attach Form 1116Foreign Tax Credit if your situation requires it.
