@turquoise19 I can try to help. I am not sure about what you tried to enter but remember that there is a limit to your FTC for *this year* (depends on your regular income, foreign income and tax liability, among other things). The FTC for *this year* will be in Form 116 and the carryover number will be in Form 1116 Sch B. Perhaps there is a limit to how much you can carry over as well (I am not sure). I was able to e-file my return yesterday and have it be accepted by IRS. I can confirm that I had Form 1116 and Form 1116 Sch B. I had a carryover for next year (reported in Sch B). I did *not* have a carryover from any of the previous years. I can confirm that I used the "simplified method" for AMT in the context of FTC. If you want further help, pls let me know (I am NOT an expert).
