Re: What am I doing wrong on my return?

To solve the incorrect Form 1116 calculations, Should I include the "2479" capital loss on line 3b on each of my Form 1116's?

Re: What am I doing wrong on my return?

The interest I earned in the US are from bank bonuses. Canada does not tax bank bonuses. $256.94 of the interest I earned in Canada is not taxable by Canada because it was earned in a TFSA. I do not use software. I did not move, I still live in Canada but sometimes frequent the states and when I do ...

Re: What am I doing wrong on my return?

The foreign tax credit cannot be more than my total U.S.tax multiplied by the fraction of taxable income from foreign sources. Since I have some U.S. income, it's not possible for the foreign tax credit alone to reduce your total tax to zero.

Cant figure out what I did wrong.

Re: Are capital loss deductions included on Form 1116 for Deductions and losses?

I paid no tax on the capital loss (bitcoin sale), in fact for Canadian tax purposes im treating the capital loss as inventory (COG) as advised by a Canadian CPA. I accepted bitcoin (barter) for payment as a business. I made a loss from trading it. The reason I asked is because Im getting a total FTC...

Or is this only necessary if you will be using carry forwards against US tax for that year? Ive had Unused foreign tax for the past 5 years and have always left ...
