@JES33 - The instructions are not that bad. I actually manually prepared my 1116 just to see what it would be. I think you can manually fill in the form in TurboTax and then efile. Also, if the amount of foreign tax is under $300 ($600 MFJ), and from 1099-DIVs and/or K-1s, then you don't even need 1116. A couple of weeks ago, when I prepared my daughter's tax return using, TurboTax, it handled that case fine.
I do agree with you that we buy TurboTax to handle complications such as 1116. I have said as much in an earlier comment on this thread. Personally, I can wait until TT has the form ready. I hate to give away money by not claiming my credit and I'd prefer not to have to amend my return later.
Good luck to you in whatever you decide to do.
