| Not sure how to handle this one. I have a client who in 2007 received a refund for Canadian taxes paid in 2006. His employer paid all of the Canadian taxes for him therefore he deposited the refund check in his personal account and cut a check back to his employer. Should I report this in on line 10 1040 and back out on line 21 Sch A? Any thoughts? Thanks | |

| This sounds like a tax equalization policy. ALL the taxes that the Canadian employer paid for him in the first place should have been included in his income as a taxable benefit, therefore, the refund should simply reduce the taxable benefit amount. | |

| Thanks for the reply.
Any suggestions on how to handle reporting on this years 1040 since he did not have any foreign income of any kind in 2007? | |
