@itonewbie Thanks for your help

so he paid tax on 01/14/2024 I should mention this date on his tax return on Part II and marked Accrued. Am I right?

No.  First, did your client elect or is your client electing accrued basis?  Also, 1/14/2024 was the date the tax was paid, as you stated, not the date on which the tax was accrued.

Also, Proseries  on the top form 1116 says : Form not required to be filed

You need to be driving the software, not the other way around.  Read the filing instructions for F.1116 and §904(j) for when the exception applies.

As suggested previously, you should familiarize yourself with the international provisions (beyond these basic questions), not only for your clients' benefit but to be compliant with Circular 230, if you are picking up expats and international returns.  There is much much more than meets the eyes with these returns and the exposure for your clients and yourself are high.
