1116 question

Post by handerson »

In 2004, I received some Canadian Maternity EI while I was on TD. Should I report this income on 1040? if I should, can I claim the canadian withholding tax as foreign tax credit? what category it fits in, "general limitition income"?

Yes you MUST report this income on your 1040 (and your state return).<p>The 1116 category is gen. limitation as you said.

Report the income it on the same line that you would report state UI.
