You will not be notified that there is an update in your program if you are using the desktop version of TurboTax. You will have to do the update by using the Online option on your menu bar, then Check for Updates.
When the form 1116 has been fully updated, the foreign tax credit will be included on form 1116 if required.
If the program needs to be updated, you will be instructed to do so when you run the error check before you file your tax return.
If you are using the online version of TurboTax, the update will be automatic but you will not usually be informed that it has taken place.
