I have sold property in a foreign country. Where do i report the sale and the estimated taxes paid to the foreign government and get a credit for it ?

The foreign government has its own form as recepit for estimated taxes paid. Also , Is there a specific edition, like Basic, Deluxe or Premier I should be using ?

Very generally the recognition of disposition of  a foreign asset ( i.e. situated in a foreign country  is the same as if the asset  was  located  domestic.  However, there are some ands, ifs and buts.

(a) Which country was the property located in?

(b)  How  ( purchase/ gift / inheritance etc. ) did you acquire the asset, when did you acquire the asset?  When did you dispose off the asset ?

(c) How  was the asset used    ( as your main home / second home /  rental property etc. )?   Periods of use ?

(d)  What is your  immigration status ?  If not a citizen, when did you enter this country and with which visa ?

Please answer my questions.  I will circle back once I hear from.  Note that if  the answers get into regions that may not be of  general interest  or for reasons of privacy , you can PM me  ( just NO PII -- Personally Identifiable Information, please ).

Look forward to hearing from you
