Foreign tax credit carryover calculation

The following describes how foreign tax credit carryover amounts calculate.
If, because of the limit on the credit, the full amount of qualified foreign taxes paid or accrued in the tax year can't be used, a 1-year carryback then a 10-year carryover is allowed. The carryback and carryover calculate based on entries you made in the
1116CO
screen.

Alternative minimum tax

The alternative minimum tax (AMT) foreign tax credit calculates separately, using AMT income and deductions. Separate carryovers are calculated for the AMT foreign tax credit. Any unused AMT credit available for carryover includes the amount not taken because of the AMT credit limit.
