I received a Form 8805 from a U.S. partnership. How do I use it on my 1040-NR?
I'm a non-resident alien living in Japan and I'm a 30% partner in a U.S. LLC taxed as a partnership. The partnership sent me Form 8805 showing they withheld about $22,000 in tax on my share of partnership income. I'm preparing my Form 1040-NR now. How do I claim credit for this withholding? And is it possible the withholding was too high — can I get a refund?
