My T4 contains both Canadian and US source income (W2).  How do I enter the US source portion so that it is not “double counted”?

    W-2 Box 1 – “Foreign Employment Income” – Box 2 – “Foreign Taxes paid” which translates to line 10400 of your tax return and the foreign taxes paid will be applied to line 40500.

     

    (To calculate the amount of your foreign Income Tax Credit, you can complete Form T2209, Federal Foreign Tax Credits. Then, claim your credit on line 40500 of your income tax return.)

     

    Instructions for TurboTax Online users
    - Select Find (or the magnifying glass icon) from the TurboTax menu.
    - Type Foreign income and select Go.
    - Select Foreign income from the options that appear, then select Go.
    When the Foreign Income Summary step appears, add the amount for the slip you'd like to claim.
