Use Foreign Tax Credit data entry screens in an 1120L or 1120PC binder to populate Form 1118
You can include an insurance binder (return type of 1120L or 1120PC) with an international filing type of Foreign Tax Credit in the international calculations (TIBS, FTC and Schedule A&H, and Transfer to US1118).
Currently, all binders with an international filing type of Foreign Entity must have a return type of 1120 to be included in the international calculations (E&P, Look-Thru, Subpart F, and Transfer to US5471). The international filing type (None, Foreign Tax Credit, or Foreign Entity) is assigned at the entity level and inherited by the binders for that entity. Selecting Foreign Tax Credit or Foreign Entity for a binder is permanent.

Valid entity types in international calculations
The following entity types are valid for international calculations:
- Corporate single entity
- Division (used in div con members)
- Div Con (used in top consolidation members)
- Elimination
- Parent
- Subsidiary
A subconsolidation entity is not valid for international calculations. If a subconsolidation entity is used on the
Domestic Members
screen, the subsidiaries of the subconsolidation should be used on the International Members
screen for inclusion in the international calculations.For the valid entity types, when the Foreign Tax Credit binder is added to the
Domestic Members
screen, the binder is inherited automatically by the International Members
screen for inclusion in the international calculations.
