Foreign tax credit from trust K-1

[joanmcq]

Or does it? I enter the amount on the K-1 entry form, but nothing flows to the 1040. Nothing is showing up on either the 1116 or the line 51 worksheet of the 1040. I think last year I just re-entered everything on the 1116, but is there an easier way?

You don't need Form 1116 unless credit is >$100. In these cases, use the Line 51 worksheet and check the box for Form 1040.

If more than $100, you'll have to use Form 1116.

OK, so I have to manually enter info on 1116, I suppose? oh well, I tried.
