How does the foreign tax credit work?

The IRS limits the foreign tax credit you can claim to the lesser of the amount of foreign taxes paid or the U.S. tax liability on the foreign income. For example, if you paid $350 of foreign taxes, and on that same income you would have owed $250 of U.S. taxes, your tax credit will be limited to $250.

Do I need to file 1116 for foreign tax paid?

Taxpayers who paid taxes to a foreign country or U.S. possession may be able to take a nonrefundable foreign tax credit. Generally, to claim the credit, taxpayers are required to file Form 1116.

Can I choose not to claim foreign tax credit?

Making the Choice You can choose whether to take the amount of any qualified foreign taxes paid or accrued during the year as a foreign tax credit or as an itemized deduction. You can change your choice for each years taxes.

Are tax deductions or tax credits more valuable?

A tax credit reduces your tax liability dollar for dollar whereas a tax deduction reduces the amount of your taxable income - which is used to calculate your tax liability. Tax credits are generally more valuable because they reduce your tax liability by one dollar for every dollar of the credit.

Who qualifies for foreign tax credit?

Generally, only income, war profits, and excess profits taxes (collectively referred to as income taxes) qualify for the foreign tax credit. Foreign taxes on wages, dividends, interest, and royalties generally qualify for the credit.
