Changing answer from YES to NO for "Elect to use the Simplified AMT Foreign Tax Credit Limitation this year?" took some searching. Easy Step process never took me back to the question that was asked during the initial step by step process.
To change Simplified AMT Foreign Tax Credit Election, switch from step-by-step mode to forms mode.
Open Form 6251. Scroll down to the box labeled "Simplified Foreign Tax Credit Election Smart Worksheet." Answers can be changed in this section if you chose to make the change.
I tested changing the answer from Yes to No. I went thru the review process again and Turbo Tax did not give an error message for e-filing.
Now, decision time. Make the change in Turbo Tax to be able to circumvent the glitch in Turbo Tax and file electronically or file a paper return.
