Thank you nelsona! What I will do then is make note of the unused credits from 2012 and enter them into their own separate column of the carryover statement/worksheet - next to the 2011 unused credits column, and keep track of them that way....If we ever need to take advantage of the unused credits,...

Unused FTC credits from 2011 and form 1116
I decided on TaxAct software (download version) to file my wife’s IRS return for 2012 (USC in Canada as a PR). So far everything is going well but I am curious about line 10 – carryback or carryover on form 1116 for 2012...TaxAct is asking about carryover.. 2011 return was prepared by a CPA, thi...

Thank you nelsona! I would imagine that in addition to having that extra pension amount from the buyback at her time of retirement, there will likely be the benefit of lowering her tax bracket in Canada each year (for the next 5 years) simply by making the monthly payments to buy this portion of the...

Does a DB pension buyback generate additional IRS forms?
This is for my wife: a USC in Canada as a PR. She is a teacher in Ontario and has a defined benefit pension which she contributes to through payroll. Because it is DB she has no control over how or where the money is invested.... Since May 2012 she has been on maternity leave and collecting EI. Her ...

ND, as nelsona mentioned she files using f1116 in order to obtain the additional child tax credit, so no f2555. The income amounts will be filled out in their respective lines on the 1040: wages, interest, EI, UCCB etc, and then one f1116 will be used for gen limit income which covers wages, EI and ...

Thanks nelsona! The only thing is that I didn't use software, I did it via paper and pencil, lol! I did show everything to the CPA and they confirmed that it was done correctly by using whatever software they have. I thought this year I would do it completely on my own though. I can look into softwa...

Thanks for the clarification nelsona! This leads me to my next question regarding form 1116: With T4 and T4E being considered both as general income, is it acceptable to use one f1116 with the T4 and T4E income grouped together, or, do I need separate f1116's? Where would the $1200 universal child c...

Question regarding T4, T4E and form 1040
I am gearing up to start preparing my wife’s IRS return for 2012 – at least mentally, and I have a couple of questions regarding the T4, T4E and form 1040. First, my wife is a US Citizen and PR of Canada, I am Canadian only and our two children are dual US/CAN Citizens with US SSN’s. My wife w...
