Get your taxes done using TurboTax
The program is designed that way now. It used to carryover the credits. My guess would be that changes can occur, like audits, to change things. Great job verifying your tax return before filing!
Foreign tax credit can be carried back one year or carried forward up to 10 years so you want to keep track of your credits and which year is used. See Topic no. 856, Foreign tax credit.
To enter the carryover:
In TurboTax,
- After sign into your account, select Pick up where you left off
- At the right upper corner, in the search box, type in foreign tax credit and Enter
- Select - Jump to foreign tax credit
- Follow prompts
- On the screen, Foreign Tax Credit Carryovers screen, enter information ( select Learn More for details)
- See the image below
