Description:

This book is for preparing 2024 taxes. The general purpose of the foreign tax credit (FTC) is to mitigate the effects of double taxation on foreign-source income. More specifically, the FTC reduces the taxpayer´s U.S. tax attributable to foreign-source income by all or part of the foreign taxes paid or accrued during the tax year. This course gives tax professionals the knowledge they need to complete Form 1116, Foreign Tax Credit (Individual, Estate, or Trust), for eligible taxpayers, which helps them avoid paying double tax (once in the foreign country and again in the U.S.) on their foreign-source income.

• Identifying foreign taxes eligible for the credit
• Analyzing the facts and choosing to claim the credit without filing Form 1116, if eligible
• Calculating the credit, the limit on the credit and any carryovers when filing Form 1116
• Determining if income is U.S. source or foreign source by applying the sourcing rules
• Applying information from Schedule K-3 (Form 1065), Partner’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, etc. - International, to Form 1116
• Completing Form 1116
