Yes, we are prepping F5471 as well so that we had the following:

Total amount required to be included in income by reason of section 965(a) = $228,620

Aggregate foreign cash position, if applicable = $406,494

But we are not sure how to calculate this line based on the following rule:

Total deduction under section 965(c) = ?

"A U.S. shareholder of a DFIC is allowed a deduction for the tax year in which the above rules apply in an amount equal to the sum of: (i) the U.S. shareholder’s 8% rate equivalent percentage of the excess (if any) of: (a) the amount so included as gross income, over (b) the amount of the U.S. shareholder’s aggregate foreign cash position, plus (ii) the U.S. shareholder’s 15.5% rate equivalent percentage of so much of the amount described in item (i)(b) (above) as does not exceed the amount described in item (i)(a) (above). (Code Sec. 965(c)(1))"
