Unfortunately, I do not need to get to the foreign tax credit section. I've already been there.
I need to edit, specifically, the explanatory statement description text for Form 1116 that is added as an extra statement to the end of the filed tax return. TurboTax Online only appears to prompt the taxpayer for that text during Federal Review. It does not appear to be accessible any other way. It does not reappear if one re-does Federal Review and any explanatory statement text was already entered during an earlier Federal Review.
While some of these step-by-step answers are appreciated and may be useful to those who have a more general issue with Form 1116, they don't address this specific issue or instance.
I'm going to move forward with the assumption that you simply can't change that explanatory statement text in TurboTax Online once it's been entered, especially now that tax experts here haven't yet found a workaround.
I hope the ability to edit explanatory statement text is a feature Intuit considers adding in the future to TurboTax Online, as TurboTax Online doesn't seem to have a Forms mode.
