Question
US Tax Credit for Multiple US Incomes
Client had US employment income, US social security income and US investment income (in US). Spouse had US social security income. They filed joint US return. When reporting foreign tax paid, I prorated the 1040 amount between the 4 incomes. Then added W-2 boxes 4 & 6 to the employment part. They now don't get to claim FTC for tax allocated to US social security. Does this seem correct?
