3/4/2022. I was furious with the "Form 1116, Schedule B- Foreign Tax Carryover Reconciliation Schedule" issues. Spent hours trying to correct them. Finally, I cared more about efiling my IRS and NYS returns promptly "with no errors" than using a $44 tax carryover from 2020. So at some point I checked some box effectively saying I did not want to use prior year tax carryovers. That helped (some how). And the other things I had to do related to the Form 1116, were to file several required attached "statements" along the lines of "Balance of deductions from income not claimed as definitely related on line 2;" or "Deductions from gross income not on line 2" (whatever those statements mean). It's just crazy. One has to fiddle with different entries until all the errors are gone. At that point, it appears TT and the IRS are on the same wave length electronically for approving the return. And if a real person examines my "Explanations" and determines they're nonsense and I owe more money (or get less of a refund), so be it, I'll go with the flow.
