Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I was going to start to use your method but I decided to do a little more research on this problem on the web. I eventually found this article, https://thefinancebuff.com/foreign-tax-credit-form-1116-turbotax.html/comment-page-2#comment-37902

In reading the article I came across this TT screen:

So I went through the process again, just adding my first country and going through all the step by step questions until I got to the above screen. Then I added each country one at a time. After the third country it adds another 1116 form and likewise after the sixth and the ninth. It appears to have populated all of the forms and schedule B correctly and calculated my tax credit and my carryover. But I haven't checked it in detail. I will do that soon. If this method actually works correctly all that TT needs to do is change the poor wording on the step by step instructions to let people know to add the first country, complete all of the steps as if that was the only country, and then add all remaining countries at the "country summary". It saves having to create fictitious 1099-DIVs and a bunch of other contortions.
