I agree with you, I had problems last year and this year entering this information. I only had foreign taxes on a couple of stocks and mutual funds that should have been simply to enter and report. However it was anything but and the online help seemed to know less about the problem than I did. This year my problem boiled down to "the date the taxes were paid", originally I had entered various, finally I just entered the last day of the year. My return was rejected twice by the IRS before I made this change. Turbo tax had approved them for filing and were even less help when it came to figuring out how to fix the problem after they were rejected. I hate to think what someone with a complicated foreign tax situation must go through with this section. Next year I will be looking at different software or break down and find an accountant. Good luck!
