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?

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.

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.
