How do you change prior year foreign tax credit type? Prior years form 1116 filed as type "Certain income re-sourced by treaty". There are two prior year carry-forwards.
Partnership K-1 now breaks out line 16 foreign transactions 16E Foreign Gross Income sourced at partnership level - Branch Category and 16G Foreign gross income sourced at partnership level - General Category. Instructions state that IRC Section 904 provides for new category of foreign source inome, the foreign branch income category. Each category must be reported separately on form 1116. Carryovers will remain assigned to same post 2017 category unless you make an affirmative election under Section 904 to assign a portion of those to branch income category. I tried to change the category of income on sc 35.1 to Foreign Branch Income but form 1116 still shows type "Certain income re-sourced by treaty". Not sure if Certain income re-sourced by treaty is still a valid option but it still appears on the drop down.
