2022 Foreign Property Sale and Tax Credit

In 2022, I sold an investment real estate property in India.  I paid 21% Capital Gains Tax and had to file income tax in India. 

 

In TurboTax, I entered the sale details in the "Investment Income" section.   Date acquired, cost basis, date sold and sales proceeds.

 

Where do I enter information about capital gains tax paid in India to get credit for it in my US Tax Return?

    Please see the TurboTax Help article Where do I enter the foreign tax credit (Form 1116) or deduction? for entry guidance. 

    You'll have the option to claim a credit or a deduction.  In most cases, taking the credit works out better than the deduction. TurboTax will help you decide which one's best for you.
