foreign tax credit and currency conversion

[LisaS]

I had an accountant prep my taxes last year, which included a fairly large income from Canada - about $30000 including fellowship and RRIF income). I've just noticed that on my 1116 form, the accountant has does something funny with the Canadian income. They have in column A listed the total in Canadian dollars, and in the "total" column listed an amount slightly larger (by about $100) than the amount listed in column A, with "SEE STMT" in that box. I don't have the statement.

Does anybody have any idea what they've done here? The currency conversion they used for the rest of my return would have meant the US$ amount would be smaller than the total in Canadian dollars (this was tax year 2012).

All figures on yoru US return are in US dollars, except one place on the 1116 which you show in foreign currency.
