Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Upgraded to version 0538 and was able to successful e-file (I got IRS confirmation about 20 min after the initial e-file). Note: I have a messy Form 1116 (numerous filings plus carry overs from past years). I did get rejected initially. Below are some tips I used:

 

(1) I deleted all my previous Form 1116 by going into the Forms MODE and manually deleting them (anything labeled 1116.

(2) I went back thru the guided interview process under Deductions & Credits > Estimates > Foreign Taxes Paid

(3) I re-opened Forms MODE and ensured no forms showed a "!" warning symbol.

(4) I had TT do a final review

(5) Submitted as normal.

 

While your mileage will vary, on my first attempt (I did delete all the Form 1116) simply walked thru the interview. The TT rejection came 3 hours after the initial e-file. The accepted by IRS (on 2nd attempt ) came within 30 minutes. Short - if you don't get an IRS accepted message within first hour, it's probably going to get rejected.
