Client has $49K in passive income and $10k in passive losses. Because the passive income is foreign and foreign tax was paid on it, I was advised to complete Form 8621 and enter the passive income in Schedule 1 - other income. The software is not showing an offset of the income with the loss. Are there other places to enter?

There are 2 kinds of passive income:
A trade or business in which you do not materially participate; a rental activity
Passive income for foreign tax credit purposes is investment income such as interest and dividends.
Are you mixing up the two?
The more I know the more I don’t know.
