Canada/US income tax and foreign income tax credit

[northmount183]

I work on TN visa in US but family is still in Canada, so i have to declare and pay income tax on both countries. how to calculate the Canada foreign income tax credit for the income tax I paid to US. Can I off-set my Canadian income tax with the full amount of tax I paid to US? thanks for your help.

Your US tax on your wages includes the IRS tax ypu calculate on your tax1040NR return, the state tax you calculate on your state return, and the SS and Medicare (FICA) payments that were withheld from your salary.

You put that in the software and it will determine how much credit you get federally and provincially.
