Description

Recent legislation has made significant and far-reaching changes to taxpayers' ability to claim FTCs under Section 901. The basket classifications of foreign-based income have led to heightened complexity in the calculations and reporting required to claim the FTC on Form 1116.

U.S. taxpayers are entitled under Section 901 to claim FTCs for certain foreign income taxes, whether paid or deemed paid. However, the foreign tax credit rules are involved, the carryback and carryover periods are limited, and the availability of the credits is limited by the category or basket of income and by the ratio of foreign-source income to worldwide income.

In December 2021, Treasury finalized regulations (T.D. 9959) on the FTC and foreign-derived intangible income (FDII). These were generally similar to the proposed regulations with a few notable differences. In September 2020, T.D. 9922 was issued covering the FTC and expense allocations and even earlier, but still recently (July 2020), T.D. 9902 on the GILTI high tax exclusion (HTE) was published. Wading through and understanding these complex legislative changes is challenging for tax professionals.

Listen as our expert panel provides a comprehensive guide to calculating FTCs and completing Form 1116. The panel will outline which foreign taxes are eligible for Section 901 FTC and discuss the recent changes to Form 1116.
