Get your taxes done using TurboTax
@crsimon53 No problem, I understand your worries. I don't know the odds of TT meeting the Mar 16th deadline - the lady from the "Office of President" said the engineering team is "aware of the issues given multiple complaints through customer service, social media etc" and they are "working as hard as they can to get the e-filing of form 1116, Sch B supported". So, all I can say is that there is a "non-insignificant" chance of the deadline being met. If you can bear to wait until around Mar 16th (plus N number of days as a buffer), I would do that. Note though, that given the deadline is mid-April, if TT does not deliver on the deadline or forgoes supporting the e-filing of the form entirely, then you must be ready to pivot to a different software/CPA, or forgo the FTC carryover part, or just file w/ TT w/ itemized deduction of foreign tax and amend later to get FTC. If it helps, the amendment is an easy process w/ TT. TT does not charge a fee w/ amendment. However, I am not sure if the amendment would hit any glitches, given it is still a new form. I have been through one amendment process w/ TT and it was smooth and free, though it was resulting from a corrected W2 which is pretty common. Hope this helps a bit!
