Trying to understand what I need to report in the US regarding UK dividends and interest, and the tax credit available. Here are my assumptions so far. Am I correct?
Dividends on equities:
In the UK, a £90 dividend is reported gross at £100 with a notional 10% tax credit.
In the US, I report the £90, and the notional tax credit ignored.
Fund producing interest income in UK:
In the UK, £80 interest is reported gross at £100 with a 20% tax credit for tax withheld at source.
In the US, I report £100 and claim a tax credit for the 20% tax withheld.
[I realise the fund in the second case is a PFIC but that is a different story. Trying to understand how the income and tax credit is recognised.]
Thanks!
