Bug in Turbo Tax?? Form 1116 Asking for an Explanation of Domestic U.S. Contribution to IRA?
I have gotten to: "Check This Entry: Form 1116 (COPY 1) Explanation Stm: Detailed explanation must be completed. Enter your explanation here to complete the required statement. It must show the other deduction items for line 3B column a."
YES this is the same as others, but when I work my way to the form it shows $2,000. I Right-Click on the amount and choose [Data Source] and it pops up a window that says "1040/1040SR Wks Adjustment Income 2,000".
I click on the 2,000 number and the open form changes to the 1040/1040SR wks form and is on Line-22 and shows the $2,000. So I Right-Click again and it says, "The sum of lines 23 through 31a and 32 through 35 plus Amounts reported in the Other Adjustments to Income Smart Worksheet".
The actual Line-22 says, "Add lines 10 through 21........". Well the ONLY number in between lines 10 through 21 is in Line-19 that says "IRA deduction" and the amount is $2,000.
So how does a domestics / United States contribution into a US IRA end up on Form 1116 through this chain??
What do I enter for the Detailed Explanation?
