I agree with the frustration of others. First, I tried to file my taxes in February and it said for 1116 was not yet available. Then this morning I updated the software and the form was there. But then Turbo Tax said I had an error and that I needed to indicate whether the amount in Form 1116 was "paid" or "accrued". I chose "paid". Then I re-ran the return for errors and got the message that the form 1116, Schedule B was not available and would be available in future product updates. I had assumed that this meant THIS YEAR for e-filing. After much research, I now realize that it will not be available for e-file at all this year and Turbo Tax knows that. The messaging that Turbo Tax uses is often unclear to the user and is very frustrating. Could they simply use direct language that tells a user what they need to know. Like..."This form is unavailable to taxpayers for eFile this year. Therefore, you will need to file your Federal and State taxes by mail this year". Instead, their messaging lead me to believe that I just needed to wait for an additional update. Not true.
