Foreign taxes not calculating properly for a refund.

There is an issue in TurboTax causing Foreign taxes paid on passive income to not total properly. The taxes come thru on a download from the brokerage house on a 1099-DIV along with the Foreign income which is only about $600. How do I contact someone to get this fixed. I do not need a tax expert, I need Intuit to fix the issue in the program so I can get the greatest refund I am entitled to.

Specifics are as follows

I have passive foreign dividend income and foreign taxes coming thru on a 1099-DIV. Total income is $602.73 and taxes paid are $62.93. Based on these amounts and passive income only, form 1116 is not required. The information pulled from the brokerage downloaded correctly but I am not being credited for the foreign taxes being paid as the $62.93 should be in my total Federal refund and it is not.

I made a copy of my tax file and tried filling out form 1116 and the worksheet on the 2nd copy . It did not make a difference as the foreign taxes still did not show in the totals.

Please advise if the TurboTax software can be corrected for this error?

If this is an outstanding system issue, it may be fixed soon; due to system updates and recent tax law changes, returns including foreign tax credit and/or Form 1116 should not be filed at this time. The expected date of availability is 2/27/2026, Friday. On or about that date, you will be able to complete and e-file your tax returns. We appreciate your patience while this is resolved.

If your issue is not resolved by the foreign tax credit software update, then you can @ one of us in this thread to begin troubleshooting.
