Deductions & credits

Yes, box 14 code B is correct for the foreign tax credit.  Two items for you to include the foreign tax credit.  

 

1.  You need to know and report/include the amount of your box 1 dividends that were taxed by the foreign countries. You should be able to get that number from your supplemental pages for the 1099-DIV.  

2. I see you already started a form 1116 for passive income you will be linking to that form.

 

  1. In "Forms Mode" open the 1099DIV with the foreign taxes in box 7
  2. Scroll down to the box 7 section
  3. Double click in the "a" box and link the form 1116 you already started
  4. Select Column "B" in the "b" area
  5. Enter the amount of foreign source dividends in the box
  6. Enter "Various" in box 8
  7. Now when you open the K-1s you should see box 14 populated and Code B will be the foreign taxes
  8. You can check the K-1 worksheet box 14
  9. You can check the form 1116
