Question

Pass a foreign tax credit from simple trust to beneficiary

Simple trust has foreign tax paid.  I have filled out information and an 1116 prints.  The trust doesn't have a tax liability so line 24 is $0.  I have also filled in boxes in the K-1 overrides screen so the K-1 shows the amount as Total Foreign Taxes, but the General Info document still shows it carrying over to 2024 so I don't know if I've done everything I should.

1) Why doesn't the trust have any tax liability?

2) Are you passing income out to the beneficiary? You have to in order to get the FTC out.

If everything is being passed out to the beneficiary, would screen 9 help instead of K-1 overrides?

 

Screen 9:

Credits: 1=in Fiduciary, 2=prorate to beneficiary

Screen 9 looks helpful, what I ended up using was Screen 43 in the Foreign Taxes section which seemed to work to keep it from being carried over.  Possibly both places would work.
