Why is the foreign tax credit reducing dividends on form 1041 in computing accounting income and Income required to be distributed annually.

I think it's doing that because accounting income might be net of the foreign tax credit. If the dividend was, for example, $100, and $2 foreign tax came out of it, you only got $98 put into your account.

There is an option in the Tax Return tab to control whether credits stay or go (so to speak) and an override in screen 9.
