I got the same rejection message. Talking to a specialist on the phone they just walked me through the form 1116 interview again (which I had already done after the initial reject). Rejected again. They were apparently in touch with a higher level support person who said TurboTax people were working with the IRS on fixing something related to foreign income and/or tax. The specialist advised to try again on 2/26 or mail the form.
Form 1116 Part II table does say that the foreign tax paid has to be entered in both the foreign currency and the converted USD. However, the form looks the same for last year's return when I was able to e-file sucessfully.
Fingers crossed this will get fixed. Otherwise I have to print a stack of paper and call TurboTax again to ask for a refund of eFile/state return fees (no point in paying $40 for a 3 page state return that I have to mail). Of course that would have been the quicker option at this point given the time spent on trying to figure out how to get this to work.
Interestingly, when I used HR Block Taxcut for 2018 I think they said I have to file on paper and attach an explanation how I converted the foreign tax paid to USD. So I thought when I switched to Turbotax last year it was an improvement to be able to efile. I guess that was short lived.
