Get your taxes done using TurboTax
@mistacrabs206 while I am not familiar with the screens of the on-line version ( I use Windows Home & Business for its completeness ), at least in my case one has to start with importing / transferring the data from the prior year ( if you saved your file -- in windows it prompts you to save the file ).
From your description it sound like :
(1) TurboTax is not recognizing the federal worksheet from the prior year ( this where all the carry back info is stored, if any ) -- there is a federal info and federal carryover worksheet. Since you have already paid for the return ( for the online version ), please go to forms mode and from the left pane choose the " Carry-Over Worksheet" under federal tab. This should any carry-over created in 2022.
(2) it may be helpful to known the exact facts and circumstances --- i.e. the entries on form 1116 -- are you using up all the credit from the current year . I ask because as you know the Foreign tax credit available for the year is the lesser of what you have paid to foreign entity and the ratiometric allocated tax on the double taxed income --- thus it is the lower of what US is levying and what was paid.
I recognize that my answer is kind of generic but as I said I need more info understand *( with details of the situation ) what the TurboTax is doing ( even with the limitation of my ignorance about the actual screens in the on-line version ). Need to know the country / ies involved and the types of foreign income --- general is remainder from unexcluded income or from HTKO -- etc. etc.
I will await your answer (s)
