Can You Write Off Foreign Tax Credit?
Short answer: Yes: income taxes you paid to another country can offset U.S. tax on the same income.
Small amounts from funds can be claimed without Form 1116.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements (1098, 1098-T, 1099, W-2G), and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction before you claim.
