Trust 1041 with three 1116 forms

I have a trust 1041 that has three 1116 forms because it paid foreign tax to nine different countries on its dividends.  Therefore, the 1041 has to be paper-filed because TT for Business won't allow it to be e-filed with more than one 1116 form for the passive income category.  Is there going to be a software update soon to fix this?

I used to use the H&R Block software for 1041's.  I only switched to TT so I could e-file the 1041's.  I never had any problems with HRB's software itself.  I just want to e-file everything.   But I guess I can't anymore.   Another case of one step forward, and two steps back.

Unfortunately, the investments are not mutual funds or UITs, so the RIC code doesn't apply.  The tax MUST be reported separately for each country.  I hope they get it fixed soon.  If I can't e-file 1041 returns, I might as well use the H&R Block product for preparing 1041's.   It's a lot less expensive.
