My federal e-file that I did yesterday (2/20/21) was rejected this morning (2/21/21) with the following message: "We encountered an issue processing your e-filed return. Please review the "ForeignTaxesPaidOrAccruedDt" on Form "1116" in the section "ForeignTaxCreditSource"."
All of my foreign taxes are on mutual funds held in a Vanguard brokerage account, so my numbers/data are coming from the Vanguard 1099-DIV.
I have run through the Foreign Tax Credit flow again and can't find anything to change/correct; I am ending up with the exact same results as before. In particular the date paid section looks correct, with the "paid" box checked (rather than accrued) and a date of 12/31/2020.
The only thing I was slightly uncertain about is that yesterday when it did the final review it asked me for "Qual Div and LT Cap Gains" for the foreign tax credit worksheet (and said this had to be greater than $0). I entered the "QDI eligible foreign income" value from the "2020 Foreign Tax Paid" section of my 1099-DIV. I am not certain this correct but do not see what other value would be appropriate to enter here. However, I also don't see how this would be related to the error message above.
I am wondering if this is a bug in TurboTax, as I had a similar experience last year where it was rejected due to a bug on their end, and had to wait until they had fixed the issue in order for it to get accepted.
Has anyone else encountered this? Or can advise on how to resolve it?
