I am having difficulty getting Turbo tax to compute the foreign tax credit reduction ( Form 1116 line 12). When computing the reduction, a ratio needs to be computed. This ratio is computed on the worksheet for Form 1116 line 12 a,1-9.
My understanding is that when there is a married couple, each with foreign wages, a ratio for each spouse needs to be computed. Then separate reductions are computed for each spouse. Then the 2 reductions (one for each spouse) are added together to get the total that would be on line 12 of Form 1116.
How do you get Turbo Tax to compute the ratios separately for each spouse? I have tried adding additional copies of Form 1116 -one for each spouse - without success.
Thanks for any tips.
