2003 tax return converting to US from CAD

Post by jfd5356 »

I'm not sure how my tax preparer came up with 2 figures on my US 2003 Tax Return.
&&&&&&&&&&
CAD Line 120 Taxable Div from CAD $326.66
US Line 9a Ordinary Div $305.00

AND

CAD Line 121 Interest & Other Invest Inc $200.46
US Line 8a Taxable Interest $242.00

&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&

2003 Exchange Rate 1.40146175 CAD .713540701 USA

Also, where does CAD Line 130 Other Income $237.02 go on the US Tax Return? This was Interest from some investments.


Form 1116 is also confusing because the gross income reported on Line 1 of the form said Investment $535 (Resident of Canada)

What numbers do you use for Line 1 of this form?

Not sure this makes sense, hope you can interpret it. Thx!

Why don't you ask him what exchange rate he used, and what the other numbers mean, that's what you paid him for. He may have used a 2004 exchange rate, for example.
