Charles Schwab Form 67 & Foreign Tax Credit

5 min read · Updated July 2026 · Applies to AY 2025-26 and AY 2026-27

The DTAA mechanics for claiming credit are the same for every US broker — see the full Form 67 & FTC guide. This page is only about where to find the figure on Schwab's paperwork, since it's laid out differently from Fidelity's.

If you hold RSUs, ESPP or dividend-paying stock through Charles Schwab, the same India-US DTAA foreign tax credit rules apply as for any other US broker. What differs is which document the withheld amount actually appears on.

Schwab issues one consolidated 1099

Schwab combines 1099-DIV, 1099-B and 1099-INT into a single consolidated statement PDF. Foreign tax withheld on dividends — the figure you need for Form 67 — sits inside that document, in the 1099-DIV section, Box 7 (Foreign Tax Paid).

If you're used to Fidelity's separate 1042-S, don't go looking for one from Schwab — it doesn't issue one. The figure exists, just inside the consolidated 1099 instead.

What's creditable

  • US federal tax withheld on RSU vesting (from your W-2) — creditable.
  • Foreign tax withheld on dividends (Schwab 1099-DIV Box 7) — creditable.
  • US state tax, if any — not creditable under the India-US DTAA.
Form 67 must still be filed on the income tax portal on or before submitting your return, per Rule 128 — same requirement regardless of which broker issued the underlying withholding.
