How do I edit my form 1116 detailed statement once it’s been entered if I need to correct it?

Use the "Delete a Form" tool to remove the Form 1116: Foreign Tax Credit (and any associated worksheets), then re-enter the information in the Foreign Tax Credit interview.

See: How do I delete forms in TurboTax Online?

After deleting Form 1116: Foreign Tax Credit (and any associated worksheets).  log out of the program. When you log back in, use the Delete a Form tool (List of Forms in My Return) to confirm they have been removed from your return. Then go back to the Foreign Tax Credit interview and make the correct entries.

Why does this happen? Once you enter (or import or transfer) certain information, the program creates or updates forms and worksheets that use that information. In many cases, you cannot "change" that information in the interview process - in a manner of speaking, it has been "written in ink" on the forms. You have to delete the form and any associated worksheets in order to correct.
