Certain Harbor funds paid foreign taxes that can be passed through to shareholders. As a shareholder, you may be entitled to claim a foreign tax credit or take an itemized deduction on your federal income tax return for such amounts. Depending on your individual situation, you may be required to file Foreign Tax Credit Form 1116 (Individual, Estate or Trust) or Form 1118 (Corporation).
Shareholders completing Form 1116 are no longer required to report foreign taxes paid on a country-by-country basis; simply enter "RIC" on line i.
