There is no great mystery about Form 1116, and in fact TurboTax includes it and will figure your tax credits.

The 15% Canadian withholding tax is clearly allowable as a credit against US taxes. The tax is mostly a loss for IRA accounts.

The ROC is likewise quite simple. You just adjust the basis of your stock by subtracting the ROC payments.

Some U.S. brokerages do not report these things correctly on the 1099-DIV forms, however.

That's not true but my goodness, it certainly is personally insulting.

How is that any different for Canadians who own US stocks ??.. a % of dividend payout by US companies to canadians are withhold and canadians then have to try to get that when they file their taxes.. You run into same hassles and it is never clear to me if you manage to recover all of it.. And if you own these investments thru tax sheltered account, then you have no recourse to it.. No way to claim it..

You make it sound like it is a one way street..
