How to print page 2 of form 1116 with TT desktop 2023 Windows?

[bjn1234]

I have 2 copies of Form 1116 (foreign tax credit). TT 2023 prints the 2 pages on the first Form 1116, but only the first page of the second Form 1116.

The second page of the second Form 1116 is necessary since it includes Part III Figuring the Credit. TT shows this information in Forms view, but does not print it - very odd.  It worked fine with TT desktop 2022.

you can try saving the file all forms and worksheets as a pdf and then open the PDF to see if you can print just those pages needed.

What I've tried so far:

 - print the return using the step-by-step flow => no page 2 for "Form 1116 (COPY 2)"

 - in Forms in My Return, print everything, including all worksheet => no page 2 for "Form 1116 (COPY 2)"

 - in Forms in My Return, print only the Form 1116 => same

 - in Forms in My Return, print only the Form 1116 (COPY 2) => same

BTW, I have not filed this return yet. The "After you file" category is an accident.

@bjn1234  I am not sure understand  why there is NO page 2 on only one of the form 1116.  To simulate and see why  TurboTax appears to be mis-behaving could you please give me more data -- what is covering the  1116 (copy 1) and that for  1116 ( copy 2 ). Also the magnitude  of your US source income,  Foreign Source  for #1  and # 2 forms 1116.  Are these from the same foreign country or different.

Please answer and I will come back once I hear from you

I see page 1 and page 2 of both Form 1116 in the TT Forms view. It's an odd printing / PDF generation issue.

Form 1116 (COPY 1) reports passive income, while Form 1116 (COPY 2) reports general category income, more specifically:

COPY 1: RIC + foreign partnership rental income (single country) + negative HTKO that offsets this rental income (3 columns)

COPY 2: positive HTKO that corresponds to the foreign partnership income from COPY 1 (1 column)

The RIC tax paid is like $300 and the tax I paid abroad for the foreign partnership rental income is in the order of $2,000.

@bjn1234 , thank you for your response -- negative HTKO creates some issues.  While I go through the simulation , here is a post   that may shed some light -->

Solved: Form 1116 - HTKO/negative number - TT stuck on "Any foreign source qualified dividends or lo...

This comment from @Rare contributor on the thread you referred to:

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-credits-deductions/discussion/re-form-1116-htko-negative-numbe...

describes the same issue with printing/PDF generation:

> That is, with copy 2 of form 1116, which is for General Income in my case, if I try to print/save it to PDF, page 2 (the one that contains Part III and Part IV), does NOT get printed/saved !

It's unclear if it was solved or worked around.

Yes I am working on 2024 taxes and I am having the same issue. When I go to print (even if all forms and worksheets are selected), page two of my second and third 1116 do not show up. I see the second page of the first 1116 which correctly incorporates calculations from the other two forms.

When I go to forms mode in TT, all the pages are there. It just does not show up when printing. How can I be sure that they will be filed properly with the IRS? What if I have to mail my return in? How will I print these pages?

@pderrick542 , are you generally having the same issue as @bjn1234  ?  If so , please give me a day to see if I can simulate the situation -- assuming here that you are asking the print manager to print  "return plus all the worksheets and computations "  i.e.  everything  for federal ( at least ).   On first blush I do not understand why the print manager is being selective.

Please bear with me

Yes I am having the same issue. Thank you.

I have three form 1116's due to reporting passive income from three countries and HTKO for one of them. Then I needed to create a third 1116 (Copy 3) to classify the HTKO as General Category Income. So I have two Passive Income 1116s and one General Category 1116 form. In Forms mode, I can see all of them. When I print, I get both pages of the first 1116 followed by two pages of the Schedule B for 1116 and then the second 1116 with only page 1 printed and the third 1116 with only page 1 printed.

I hope that all the pages are filed with the IRS when someone E-files. I am not sure what someone would do if they have to print and mail their return to the IRS...
