I receive distributions from a Canadian RRIF. These have tax witheld at source. The distributions are taxable in U.S. How do I get credit for foreign tax paid?

Here are the steps to enter Foreign Taxes paid:

• Sign into your TurboTax account and click Take me to my return
• Select Federal (in left column)
• Select Deductions & Credits (top of program)
• If you see Check for more tax breaks - select that option (click on screenshot below for details)
• This will open another option that reads See list of all tax breaks (click on screenshot below)
• Scroll down to Estimates and Other Taxes Paid (you may need to select Show more) click on screenshot below
• Enter the amounts converted to U.S. dollars as of the transaction date. Please click this link for historical conversion rates:  Treasury Reporting Rates of Exchange
