My TurboTax files (*.tax) on my computer date from 1997, so I am a long-time, experienced user and a retired CPA. With the issues the IRS is having processing paper tax returns (with millions said to remain unprocessed from 2019 and 2020), and with the IRS advising taxpayers to file early to avoid ID theft issues, it is inconceivable to me that TurboTax expects users to file paper returns to claim foreign tax credit carryovers, or at best wait until March 31st for the "possibility" of being able to e-file. I understand that Schedule B for Form 1116 is new this year, but TurboTax is supposed to be the most sophisticated tax preparation software for individuals (short of professional programs such as ProSystem fx), and should have anticipated this. I don't know what date the Schedule B was formally released, but I downloaded the form and instructions from the IRS website and both are dated December 2021.
