Thank you so much to venkyus for posting his solution. I had two rejections for the same foreign tax credit issue as others are reporting. After the first, I went through everything and didn't see any issues. I thought "Various" in the date fields was normal. I compared to last year's return, but didn't notice the date difference. TurboTax again said no errors in the return, so I refiled and was rejected a second time. Neither time did TurboTax suggest any corrections even though their rejection email said it would lead me through the fix. That's when I came to this forum.
I saw venkyus' solution and also Click's response. I agree with Click that "various" is correct, but the fix of entering an actual date isn't anything the IRS should get excited about, so I tried it. I went through all three Form 1116 copies and changed the "various" dates to 12/31/20. I also went back to the 2019 return and noted it showed 12/31/19 and not "various". I did another TurboTax check and it still showed no errors, so I submitted. The third times the charm and the return was accepted. Thanks, venkyus!
