Where to enter foreign capital gain income in US tax form? Sch D?

[@UK-Property-Tax-Accountants]

On IRS Form 1040, foreign capital gains tax is typically reported on Schedule D (Capital Gains and Losses) and/or Form 1116 (Foreign Tax Credit). Here's a brief overview: 1. **Schedule D**: Report your capital gains and losses from the sale of foreign assets on Schedule D. Use Part I for short-term capital gains and losses, and Part II for long-term capital gains and losses. 2. **Form 1116**: If you paid foreign taxes on your capital gains, you may be eligible to claim a foreign tax credit using Form 1116. This form helps prevent double taxation on income that is taxed by both the United States and a foreign country. Make sure to consult the instructions for both Schedule D and Form 1116 for detailed guidance on reporting foreign capital gains and claiming any applicable tax credits. Additionally, if you're unsure about your specific tax situation, it's advisable to consult a tax professional or accountant for personalized advice.
