Company paid foreign taxes ....

I had international work in 2 countries and my company paid the income taxes directly to those countries for me and is paying a tax service to do my US taxes.

The duration of work was not sufficient to have any wages counted as foreign income (for US Tax purposes)

I believe the taxes paid by my company to these other countries should be converted to USD and included in my W-2 as 'other income'. If it is not included then the tax preparer cannot logically include a deduction for foreign taxes paid.

To me this seems logical, but in my experience accounting and taxes are not always as straight forward. I am just looking for clarification of the treatment of the foreign taxes as income or not.

Thanks!
Jon
