I had a similar issue. After weeks of frustration, I went back to my 1099-DIV and deleted my Foreign Tax inputs. I also made sure that the foreign tax was no longer listed on the worksheet "Foreign Tax Credit Computation, Part II" and on " Form 1116, Part II".
Then, I went to the Topic List, Foreign Tax Update to re-enter the Foreign Tax on 1099-DIV. In box 7, DO NOT click on "deduct foreign tax on Schedule A" and DO Not click "Link a copy to Form 1116 and DO NOT select box A, B, or C.
That worked for me.
