I didn't check anything to indicate that I wanted to file 1116... on purpose anyway. I have since discovered that if you just ignore the "Needs Review" for the foreign tax section in "deductions & credits," then the credit magically will magically find it's way back into my return in the proper place (Sch 3, L1) during the error check. Any attempt to "see if you qualify for the foreign tax credit" will remove the credit and prompt you to start filling in the form 1116 data. That's a bug, when the total is clearly less than $600, and is clearly sitting there on my 1099-DIV as in many previous years.
I'll take it I guess. However, I've also apparently run into several bugs this year, where I've spent much more time fighting with TT than has been normal in the past. Frustrating to be sure.
Thanks for the quick reply.
