You may qualify for the foreign tax credit and calculate a credit against your tax liability.  

 

In general, the tax credit can lower your tax liability in the United States, but only up to the amount of foreign taxes paid or the U.S. tax liability on the foreign income — whichever is lower.

 

In TurboTax Premium Online, follow these steps:

 

  1. Down the left side of the screen, click Federal.
  2. Down the left side of the screen, click Deductions & credits.
  3. Click the down arrow to the right of Estimates and Other Taxes Paid.
  4. Click to the right of Foreign Tax Credit.
  5. Follow the screens to see whether you qualify for the credit or deduction.
