Deductions & credits
March 4, 2022. I just efiled my IRS and NYS returns. Yes, Form 1116 does now show up (it had not previously). I had foreign taxes from 4 sources (and as you know, most of that money goes back in your pocket if you do Form 1116), so I ended up putting 3 of them on Copy 1 of Form 1116 and the 4th on Copy 2 of Form 1116.
Importantly (I'm fairly sure), earlier in Step-by-Step, I entered that I DID NOT WANT TO USE Tax Carryover from prior years. That may have avoided the line 10, Schedule B, line 3 Column xiv, Reconciliation Schedule errors that over-and-over required me to mail my tax returns (not using precise words, but close).
The other thing I had to do to get rid of mulitple errors to efile, was to fiddle with the entries on 1116 and the worksheets for it, e.g., I was asked 2 or 3 times for REQUIRED "explanations" pertaining to Statement A, 3, A or 3, B, etc., so I submitted them with explanations like "Deductions from gross income not on line 2," or "Balance of deductions from income not claimed as definitely related on line 2," etc. (I have no idea what the explanations mean, but just submitting SOMETHING seemed to make them "take" and get rid of the errors preventing efiling). So good luck.
