๐Ÿงพ Cross-Border Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) Optimizer

Calculate how much of the income tax you paid to a foreign government can be used as a direct credit to offset your domestic tax bill.


What is this tool?

If you already paid income tax to a foreign government on remote work or international property sales, your home country will often grant you a Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) so you don't pay tax twice on the same money. This tool calculates your eligible credit limits based on standard proportional limitation formulas.

How it works?

Input your total domestic income, your foreign-source income, and the exact amount of tax you already paid to the foreign country. The tool applies standard FTC limitation formulas to show the maximum credit you can safely claim on your domestic return.

Is it free for all?

Yes, 100% Free! Claim your legitimate international tax credits easily without expensive expat accounting help.
