I have previously replied and explained that after I followed Foxbat's workaround, I finally got my father's federal return accepted by the IRS. This was around 4/10/2021.
I don't know if TT has fixed anything, but last night (4/14/21), I filed my personal return. After getting no errors (like happened to my Dad's, yet it had still been rejected three times), I checked my Form 1116 and, despite having a "Canada" in Column A and a "RIC" in Column B, the dates for each were already filled in as 12/31/2020. I had not inserted those dates when completing the Step by Step; I don't know how those dates were used.
In any event, my return was accepted the first time. I am clueless; I have no rational explanation for how the dates got there. But taxes are filed. Don't know if this will help anyone else. Maybe it will help the Community detectives figure out how the screw up happened in the first place. Good luck to all.
