Quick Summary

This discussion addresses when to declare US dividends received in early 2023 for tax purposes and how to claim Foreign Tax Credit (FTC) relief. Initially, it was suggested to disclose in AY 2023-24 and claim relief. However, due to US fiscal year reporting, it's clarified that income received in February 2023 should be disclosed in AY 2024-25. Evidence for tax withheld, like a TDS deduction statement, is needed for the claim.

21 July 2023 I have a few shares of US listed company received as RSU. I have received a dividend of $28.71 (credited $21.53 and tax withheld $7.18) in February-2023.

The form 1042-S for calendar year 2022, talks about the dividend and tax withheld for the month April-22, July-22 and October-22. Hence, I have proof in order to claim FTC relief on this.

However, my query is, when do we need to disclose the dividend received in February-2023, in AY 2023-24 or in AY 2024-25?
If we need to disclose in AY 2023-24, how can we claim a FTC relief on the tax withheld on dividend received in February-2023?
