Hello,

I'm filing Form 1116 Foreign Tax Credit for the first time &  I'm wondering if I can claim rent paid in the foreign country. The amount of my refund increases significantly, so I want to make sure I'm doing this correctly. The client sent gross income & net income. I'm guessing I enter the gross amount, but please confirm that that's correct. Please help. Thank  you!

I'm normally curious, so - where are you deducting the rent on the return?

Rent may be part of the Exclusion on 2555. You need to provide more information. It sounds like this process is pretty foreign to you. Share info and probably get some excellent help.

Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

I have a LOT on my plate these days & don't always have time to come back to this wonderful resource. I appreciate the help, even though my failure to return caused a comment I deserved.
