Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@Stsxoz , if I were to assume that you do not have access to TurboTax 2022 on your windows machine and because this is quite a simple change,  you  could download  form 1040-X ( for the year  ---  the most recent version is from 2024) -- it is a pdf.  Then either hand write or pdf edit .   In your case  every entry is the same as your filed return ( note that this means  the blocks "Income & Deductions", "Tax Liability", "Payments" etc. all remain the same as in your original filed return .  The only area  you enter new is  Part II where you explain  " Change of Foreign Income Category  from  General to  Passive"  and attach a copy of your form 1116 first page.  

If this was  (2022) your first year of Foreign Tax Credit -- then there is no need for Schedule-B  ( form 1116 ).  Else you may also have to update and include the Schedule-B.

 

Obviously if you have access to  TurboTax  for tax year 2022, then you should consider recreating 2022 return to match  your printout from the CPA filed return . Then  you go into  TubroTax again and  choose you want to edit the return.   Save the   tax file under a different name -- like  same as original + "Amended".   Now on your screen you will have the source for the amended return  ( it will be called  the name you have given it).  

Make your changes to this return as mentioned above.  Finally print the 1040-X and the changed pages of the return, print , sign, date and mail-in.

 

IRS would  not  get to it for a while.  This is the basis for your 2023 return.  So  ow you can create your 2023 return ( using TubroTax 2023 ) and when you transfer the amended  2022 return, it will fill all required  info including the Foreign Tax Credit carry over info.

 

Does this help?   If you need more help, please feel welcome to add to this thread or PM.
