Can someone provide some details on how to use a carry-over foreign tax credit in Turbo Tax? (Or even what a properly completed Form 1116 with only carryover is supposed to look like?)
I earned income in Canada in 2019 and paid tax there. I did a Form 1116 in my 2019 filing and it shows I have credit to carry over to 2020. I have no foreign income in 2020.
How do I use this in Turbo Tax? Do I have to re-enter all of the details of the income (basically fill out the 2019 data in the Form 1116 again? Lines 1a, 3, 5, 6, etc.) Or can I just use the amount being carried over somehow?
The Turbo Tax interview process seems to expect me to enter a bunch of foreign income, but I don't have any in 2020.
Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated!
