Question

form 1116 wont print out

I have 3 years of foreign tax credit carryovers and I have a foreign tax credit this year that I need to carryover.  

I am using TurboTax premiere online version that I use on my desktop. 

The form 1116 is in the software but when I go to print it out, it won't print.  I have tried all the troubleshooting steps including deleting the form and inputting all of the data again.  I spent over 5 hours on this yesterday.  I called customer support.  The first person hung up because she was clueless, the second person in product support insisted that I delete the program and reinstall it.  

Turbotax states that the form won't print out if I have foreign tax credits from dividends only.  This makes NO SENSE.  I need form 1116 to print out so that their is a documented history of my foreign tax credit carryovers for when I use them in the future.  I explained this to the product support person and he insisted I had to delete the program and reinstall.   

So frustrating.   Even more frustrating that turbotax support cannot help after waiting 1.5 hours on hold

    Yes.  Once I print preview or print to PDF, the forms is missing.  I can print the form out separately but I need to

    efile my Federal return and the form is not included

    TT must know with certainty that there is foreign income for TY2025.  It could be on the 1099-div worksheet on line 7d or you typed it in during somewhere during the interview.
