Irsispita,
In Form 1099-DIV Box 8 the broker/mutual fund may have listed the Foreign Country or US Possession as "various". If you run error check with "various" or blanks, TT will NOT show it as an error, but when you try to efile you will get a reject. In prior years I think "various" or blank would work, but something happened at the IRS, according to TT, and if you leave it blank or as "various" the efiling will reject. Replacing "various" or blank with "RIC" gets it to work. Note: there are TWO blanks in Box 8 that need to be "RIC" and the check box checked.
Once you have all your Form 1099-DIVs corrected as above, then turn to Form 1116 in Part II, column (l) (as in Lima") and make sure the date format is mm/dd/yyyy (most of us have been using 12/31/2020 and it efiled successfully). Again, TT will not show this as an error when you run error check, but the IRS will reject it if "various" or blank.
Give it a go and let us know how it went.
