Foreign Tax for income in US.
Hi,
I have a situation and I can't find anywhere in the web. I have read i1040NR, i1116, P514 and P519.
I am a Burmese citizen and working in US. I have to pay income tax to Burma Gov around 10% additional to US Fed and state taxes and trying to find if I could claim that TAX amount in 1040NR tax return.
I would like to know I could claim as "Foreign tax credit" or itemize deduction.
I am clear that "if the tax paid is for income from foreign source" I am eligible, but there is no where said about for income from US Source.
Any help is appreciate.
Thanks in advance
